We recently compiled and pinned a resource guide to the top of the Substack so you can easily find it. It contains the tables for trending headlines in the Russian propaganda ecosystem. These are publicly accessible.

About the tables

Data included in the tables are from outlets that have been recognized 1) by the federal government or another Western intelligence agency, 2) by research organizations that provide supporting evidence, or 3) from website partnerships and republished content as Russian state-controlled, a partner, a content creator, or an amplifier, which means that the outlet may have no concrete ties to the Kremlin.

  • While some of these outlets have concrete ties to the Russian state, some included in the data do not.

  • Inclusion in the database should not be regarded as an assertion that an outlet is affiliated with the Russian state nor that the story is false, misleading, or otherwise nefarious.

The collection of data is automated using RSS. The Buzzsumo algorithm then determines which articles are “trending,” and articles that trend are entered into the Hoaxlines database. Dates and headlines have not been verified.

Tables update multiple times per day. Please fill out the contact form if you notice a problem or have a question.

What to know about gas prices, what's driving up the price, and a future threat lurking therein

Hoaxlines analyzed the data around gas prices. A look at supply, demand, historical pricing, profits, oil industry surveys, and earnings calls shows production and inflation don't explain the prices. The answer reveals a future economic threat. Here is some of what we found but see the blog for the full story.

Hoaxlines found that production under Trump and Biden reached highs not seen in decades.

What does the oil industry say is the cause? 

A survey of 132 oil and gas firms shows investor pressure is the biggest restraint on increasing supply. About 60% of respondents answered, “What is the primary reason that publicly traded oil producers are restraining growth despite high oil prices?” with “investor pressure to maintain capital discipline” (Plante & Patel, 2022).

Just 6% of oil executives reported to the Dallas Federal reserve said government regulations were the primary reason they were not increasing production. In total, 88% of the inaction on increasing supply comes down to company choice, according to oil executives themselves. Critically the Dallas Federal Bank survey notes  (Plante & Patel, 2022):

It is looking unlikely that (increased supply) will happen, which will result in sustained higher energy prices until the American consumer is pushed into a recession.

Pro-Kremlin outlets amplify content that casts doubt on Ukrainian rape victims

The articles traced back to a single article, which was the basis for two pieces republished many times, including by a Russian intelligence-controlled outlet sanctioned by the US Treasury.
