The United States resumed oil imports from Russia in October 2023 after a break of one and a half years, according to data from the US statistical service.According to RIA Novosti, the first delivery after the break amounted to 36.8 thousand barrels...
After reading your comment and I looked through the sources cited. Besides the initial source (i.e. linked article) being from a place I never heard, and the ‘increase’ in cost of oil purchased $74 → $76 (which, if I understand correctly, is a minor increase and doesn’t seem to take inflation into account; without calculating or knowing my sense is that it’s not meaningful) what part is ‘fake news’? I’m trying to understand and I don’t really get it.
The link and info stated in the linked article which links to Foreign Policy is legitimate from what I can tell. I skimmed it, and it seems completely in order.

“Fake news” is lib speak for “something I don’t like.” They’re hoping that if they just believe hard enough reality with reshape itself to fit their vision of what it is “supposed” to be like.

And I suppose you can look up the media bias fact check for PBS and foreign policy, and see that they’re A-OK to your internal circle jerk friends… And yet, they are also reporting on the same story.
It’s a site which has no methodology whatsoever. Even Wikipedia mentions as much. It has been proven to be a complete joke on several examples. The site list CNN as some very leftist media outlet for crying out loud.
They list Radio Free Asia as having high credibility with a center-left bias.
Good to know if I ever get bored in a waiting room, I have a site I can pull up for some guaranteed laughs.
Tbf, the NED does fund a lot of ostensibly ‘left’ publications. I was looking into an anti-imperialist third world paper after coming across an interview with someone who seemed quite radical. Only my instinct that 9/10 ‘left’/‘critical’ publications will be funded by the CIA led me to even check the affiliates and funders, where my suspicions were confirmed. You can see how an ordinary person would categorise some outlets as ‘left’ (not RFA, though, lol). That doesn’t excuse an outlet that proffeses special knowledge about media literacy.
Voice of America is apparently highly factual and least biased.
