You are outsmarting yourself and creating a false dichotomy. There are people that want to censor you, and there are people that want to influence you.
It's incredibly easy believe both are true and oppose both.
I'm not stating anything about the overall merit of these suspicions. Just that some units of evidence that boil down to "because they're Russian" really ought to hold no weight.
Well, it's the "because they're Russian" observation that drew attention to USAReally. I mean, at first glance USAReally just looks like trashy clickbait fodder posing as a 3rd rate Fox News wannabee.
It didn't take much (or any) sleuthing to discover that they're Russian government funded. At that point one has to start asking WTF questions.
Back in reality, I don't believe the NYT wants censorship of everyone else except them. Why is that the end game? It's actually true that foreign governments placed misleading advertisements to try to impact the US political process, and they have actually tested different approaches. The NYT reporting on likely similar practices is not a call to censor everyone but the NYT. Can you explain how you came to this conclusion?
