Scott Horton - Ukraine War - Assessing Reliable Sources and Methods (and some Candace Owens debate)

In the second of our 2 sessions with Scott, we get into some of the sources cited in his powerful book "Provoked," and whether they are biased by an extreme worldview. When buried under a blizzard of factual representations, how can one decide whether to trust the conclusions they are being led to?

We also argue about Candace Owens and whether her views ought to make her beyond the pale as an accepted member of a political clique (Noam says yes, Scott says no).

Also, was Maidan a coup, an organic movement, or a bit of both?

Part 1 will be uploaded shortly.
