David,
thanks for pointing this out. Quite strange, because this is the same
person from bellingcat who shared the text in the first place,
including some background how he checked the authenticity. Now he does
not even mention this when discounting the document and how the media
fell for it.
A blog I've been following for a few years now (nakedcapitalism.com),
and which I think does a pretty good job at reporting on current
affairs, is typically very dismissive of Bellingcat. They tend to be
quite contrarian, but not just for the sake of it, so while I think
Bellingcat has very good press in the "mainstream media", I always
wondered what they saw in them that they didn't like. I never found it
explicitly stated.
Cheers,
