A question about an online newspaper

[Jimbuna]

I'm wondering if they took the name or if there is any connection with a German communist newspaper created on 9 November 1918 by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg

I'm familier with "Red Flag." It uses the age old propaganda technique of showing real, verifiable news that every other news agency shows intermixed with false news. They hope people read it and accept the false news as true. After all, there are true news stories in there. I don't trust any news story unless I am able to trace it back to a reliable source. Then I'm still cautious about it because the story itself is probably biased anyway.

Some highlights:

We don't trust anyone enough to endorse them!

We got into this mess because we have been sheep NOT because we've needed a new shepherd.

We are committed to providing the much needed information to voters on the issues.

....and be educated and informed.

We are a news “curator.” We carefully select from good sources and artfully exhibit it for the enrichment of the Independent thinking news consumer.

Our story is a true grassroots effort born from the Tea Party Movement that continues to grow organically and prove to be a wise choice for those looking to expand their news experience.

RedFlag News is popular with bloggers, 'high-information voters', Pinterest and Facebook users

Let's see. "We don't trust nobody". "Sheeple". "Informed" used as codespeak. "Artful presentation". Tea Party Movement. More codespeak. Yes, you can assume this is bunk, and can do so rather quickly. Reading is your friend.
