This is also important: In light of the confirmation that the information about Freeland's family was, rather than anyone's disinformation campaign, was actually authentic, solid, and factual reporting, we can now confirm that G&M was actively (and hypocritically) running their own personal Russophobic disinformation propaganda campaign, when they printed their previous article on the subject of Freeland's family's Nazi history, and tried to dismiss the reported information as a disinformation campaign:

We now see there was no merit to G&M's previous assertions. They were just throwing out false assertions to try to convince people of a conclusion on what the claims amounted to, without presenting any argument for it, and while ultimately being wrong in the assertions that they presented to their readers.
