There's been a bunch of these deliberate misleads, too

  • Criticism of Chinese government = "sinophobia"

  • Criticism of Israeli government = "antisemitism"

  • Criticism of russian government = "russophobia"

Seems like the classic ghoul playbook to me

    I fully agree. It's a concerning that many journalists like these from the BBC don't appear to understand that such things are not the result of an organically grown development but rather a controlled influence campaign. The article cites "influencers" and social media stats, but the journalists should know that such sources paint a hopelessly false picture of reality.
