We are the propagandists: The real story about how The New York Times and the White House has turned truth in the Ukraine on its head
Patrick L. Smith, formerly the International Herald Tribune’s bureau chief in Hong Kong and then Tokyo

Btw, the James Carden that Smith cites writing for The Nation also writes conservative publications,  The American Conservative, The National Interest, and Russia Direct. He is an editor at the American Committee on East-West Accord, established in the tradition of George F. Kennan. See Announcement: Committee for East-West Accord
