    — Hybrid War Propaganda Laundering … Naturally, these entities are not setting the agenda or calling the shots. They have been assigned a number of roles by the political elites. First of all, they are supposed to engage in veritable “propaganda laundering.” Much as banks provide legitimacy to funds obtained through illegal or immoral means, Bellingcat, White Helmets, and others turn what would otherwise be recognized as propaganda into “breaking news”–style stories that are then run, with reference to the NGO in question rather than the true source of the disinformation, by the mainstream media.
