As political censorship escalates on social media, American spy agencies have accused Russia of running a fake left-wing news website called PeaceData. But there is no evidence whatsoever for the FBI's claims, and many serious questions poke holes in the government's official narrative.

While Joe Biden's aggressively centrist campaign runs ads attacking Trump from the right in Florida, the far-right Venezuelan and Cuban lobbies are hilariously depicting neoliberal Democrats as card-carrying communists.
