So you’ve probably heard about Brent Renaud by now. He was an American “journalist” in Ukraine, and killed today. He worked for the New York Times and VICE, both left wing propaganda rags. However, the New York Times has confirmed that Brent Renaud was NOT on assignment for the New York Times in Ukraine. So what the hell was he doing in Ukraine in the first place? Working for the feds maybe?

NYTimes clarifying that Brent Renaud, journo killed outside of Kyiv, was not a Times reporter, but had on his ID from years ago. I'm sure he did that assuming being connected to a big news org would provide protection. So many independent journos do this. https://t.co/fXb2eRtFwe
