The Daily Caller just published an op-ed on "The Ever-Changing ‘Russia Narrative’" written by Oleg Deripaska, the Putin ally and Russia billionaire who paid Paul Manafort millions to lobby for Putin-friendly oligarchs in Ukrainehttps://t.co/QY8wqMT1eC

I know ‘can you imagine… ‘ is an overworked trope, but if — for instance — Think Progress had published an op-ed like this, the Daily Caller would be screaming for Trump to send Seal Team Six through their office window.
This includes no disclosure of Deripaska's ties to Putin or Manafort, either. https://t.co/GsLIPyPTvR

Newsworthy? Sure. But given his ties to a propagandist and adversarial foreign power, perhaps a Q&A in which you could have actually challenged him.
Also, not sure how there is zero disclosure of his Putin or Manafort ties. Stunning, really.

BTW, I’m being only a little cheeky about this. Remember that Manafort’s bail terms got squeezed tighter when he was caught writing an op-ed for some oligarch (iirc it wasn’t Deripaska) https://t.co/25F1QAt27k
