    Yes - conspiracy theorists are great at finding any and all possible supporting evidence no matter how poor. Just vague general “relationships” is sufficient.

    They’ve worked together in the past != The guardian ran this to support Trump.

      WTF? This is in no way a conspiracy, this has been known for decades, USA instated the Shah to get control of the Iranian oil.
      And your false equivalence is outright stupid.

          No you are way off, the nationality of the outlet has very little bearing on whether it might be American propaganda or not.
          Claiming that because it’s a British outlet it can’t be American propaganda is outright moronic.

          Edit:
          Why is this downvoted? He claimed exactly this, if you look 3 of his posts up he wrote:

          bad things surely must be American propaganda? Even from a British paper?

              That’s exactly what you claimed with this line 3 of your posts up from the above:

              bad things surely must be American propaganda? Even from a British paper?

              This was the place the argument came from. So again I repeat because you apparently need it, the nationality of the paper has no bearing on whether it may be American propaganda.

                The absolute arrogance of thinking you know better than me what I’m saying. Bye.
