suggesting that you were unable to find such coordination in this instance; not in any way negating the point that such agencies do exist and do take on contracts to shape a public narrative to the degree possible with the resources given.

I have no knowledge of your skill levels at picking out such media shenanigans, while they absolutely do happen in general I have no basis with which to weight your inability to find any specific evidence in this instance.

More to the dynamic of the exchange, you asked if I had any personal knowledge of US remote articles being dropped in the US public sphere to order and I responded that I have no interest in such articles in the US public sphere and thus have no such knowledge. That ancedatal singular fact has no bearing on whether such a thing is or isn't happening.
