In a more excoriating key, the journalist Anne Applebaum accused Mearsheimer of being Putin’s useful idiot, tweeting that his article had given the Kremlin its talking points for the war. As Mearsheimer explained his thinking on the Ukraine war in media interviews, he became the most infamous, perhaps even most hated, academic in the world.

First of all, "the journalist Anne Applebaum" haha, good one. But if she hates someone, then they are probably worth listening to.

The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide.
Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

Assuming “The World” only consists of Western elites like Applebaum.

The New Statesman seems to be competing with the Spectator these days.
