Information Warfare: Western-Funded Media Takes More Western Money To Cover Up US Meddling

Western-funded media organizations in Indonesia have been funded by the West including George Soros’ Open Society Foundation-funded "Internews" and the European Union specifically to attack, smear, and silence those exposing Western interference in Indonesia. A recent hit piece attempts to portray those exposing US interference in Indonesia as a “Russian information operation” simply because Russian media outlets reported on verified US interference in Indonesia - interference similar to what Russia itself has faced for decades.
