The Southern Poverty Law Center has removed three Russia-related articles from its website following challenges to the articles’ accuracy.Mistakes were made.
The three articles all focused on drawing conspiratorial connections between anti-establishment American political figures and Russian influence operations in the United States.
The left-wing nonprofit apologized on Wednesday for a March 9 article that linked left-wing writers and activists to Russians and white nationalists. The article sparked an intense backlash from the left-wingers, who accused the SPLC of smearing them with inaccurate accusations. One of the writers, Max Blumenthal, threatened legal action before the SPLC removed that article.
The SPLC also quietly pulled two other Russia-related articles by the same author, Portland State University lecturer Alexander Reid Ross.
