Candace Owens Destroys New York Times Accusation of Russian Disinformation With Their Own Articles
Candace Owens faced accusations from The New York Times of spreading Russian disinformation about Ukraine's corruption. Her response was brilliant: she sent them their own articles documenting Ukraine's corruption issues. When the Times reporter moved the goalposts to questions about bio labs, Owens again responded with more New York Times articles. The exchange reveals how mainstream media attempts to silence inconvenient truths by labeling critics as foreign agents, even when those critics are simply citing the media's own previous reporting on Ukraine's well-documented corruption and connections to oligarchs.
Candace Owens received an email from The New York Times accusing her of advancing ideas about Ukraine that match comments made in Russian state media. The newspaper was concerned that Owens had been discussing Ukraine's corruption, suggesting she was somehow working with Vladimir Putin.
A Perfect Response Using Their Own Reporting
Owens' response was simple and devastating. She wrote back: "I'm very confused by this email. I learned about Ukraine's corruption from The New York Times." She then sent them a link to their own piece entitled "Ukraine's Unyielding Corruption."
But she didn't stop there. Owens sent them ten different links from The New York Times over the past three to four years documenting Ukraine's corruption issues. She questioned whether The New York Times was now calling their own reporting "Russian disinformation."
Moving the Goalposts
The Times reporter responded by thanking her for the links but immediately moved the goalposts. Instead of addressing the corruption question, he shifted to asking whether Owens accepted the official government narrative regarding bio labs and whether they were just opened for research.
Owens called this out as nonsensical, asking what bio labs had to do with the initial question about Ukraine's corruption. She sent another link pointing out that The New York Times had also reported that the government was funding these labs to shut down previous Soviet labs. After receiving her response, the reporter simply said "thank you for your time" and asked no more questions.
Why This Matters
Owens believes the reporter either doesn't read The New York Times or doesn't realize how many times they've covered these narratives. She finds the "Russian puppet" accusations ridiculous, pointing out that she's a black woman in the United States who has never been to Russia and can't even think of a Russian food off the top of her head.
She refuses to give the accusations any credibility but recognizes a pattern: "They say these things when you arrive at a truth that they don't want them looking at, they don't want the public at large looking at. They say look over here, never mind, this woman is a Russian." She compared it to how the Hunter Biden laptop was dismissed before the truth was eventually acknowledged.
What Truth Was Being Suppressed
Owens wanted to understand what truth she was hitting that bothered them so much. She concluded it was her discussions about Zelenskyy. According to the mainstream narrative, Zelenskyy is portrayed as an amazing hero who isn't corrupt.
Owens had been discussing several inconvenient facts:
Zelenskyy's appearance in the Pandora Papers
His ties to Ukrainian billionaires
These billionaires' controlling interest in Burisma
She noted this might be an interesting conversation to have given that the Biden administration is deeply engaged in the conflict in Ukraine. However, the establishment doesn't want this conversation to happen. Instead, they resort to the absurd claim that a black woman from the United States is somehow on Putin's payroll.
The Silencing Tactic
Owens' experience illustrates a common tactic used to silence inconvenient questions: label critics as foreign agents or conspiracy theorists rather than address the substance of their claims. By pointing to The New York Times' own reporting, she exposed the absurdity of calling factual discussions about documented corruption "Russian disinformation."
The exchange demonstrates how media outlets can contradict their own previous reporting when current narratives require it, and how they attempt to delegitimize anyone who remembers what they reported just a few years earlier.
