At Site of U.K. Poisoning, Doubts About Case Creep In
SALISBURY, ENGLAND — After Sergei V. Skripal, her Russian neighbor, was poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent, Lisa Carey pricked her ears for any information about this bizarre series of events.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/16/w...ropaganda.html
Three and a half months later, Ms. Carey, 45, a resident of Salisbury, England, where the attack on the former Russian spy occurred, has come to a firm conclusion: Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, whom Britain holds responsible for the poisoning, would never have ordered an assassination on the eve of a national election or the World Cup.
Mr. Putin is “not a silly man,” she says. If he wants someone dead, she added, they end up dead. “Someone stitched him up,” she wrote recently. “Whoever did this made it look like Putin did it.”
Though Ms. Carey’s opinion is not a common one in Salisbury, she’s not alone, either.
“We are force-fed the answer that it was the Russians, no two ways about it,” read a letter to the editor in a recent edition of The Salisbury Journal. Many more express a shrugging sense of resignation, that the facts of the case may never be clear.
During the days after Mr. Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were found unconscious, the British government seemed to be winning the public relations war, mobilizing its allies in a united front against Russia.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s government presented its case for Russia’s guilt, and by the end of March 25, countries had lined up in support, expelling more than 100 Russian diplomats. In a YouGov poll released on April 3, three-quarters of Britons were relatively confident that Russia was responsible.
In the weeks that followed, though, Britain’s control over the narrative slipped away.
/…/
“The English people believe it’s the Russians,” he said, but “all those other British people, the Scottish, the Irish, the Welsh,” were more skeptical. “To be honest with you, they don’t trust England,” he said.
Another driver, Steve Odendaal, who is native to Zimbabwe, said the attack could not have been a Russian government operation because it was “too clumsy and too careless.”
Even among those with full confidence in the government case, the episode has left a residue of confusion and mistrust.

Svårt att veta varför Pravda vacklar lite. Kanske så många människor börjar inse hur omöjlig historien är att NYT måste följa med något. Men det är ju skrivet med den här tekniken som man kanske kan kalla "nyliberal sörja"?? Lite hit och dit med uttalanden av privatpersoner och vem som helst kan läsa in lite vad den helst hoppas få se i artikeln.Nu börjar Washington-pressen att så tvivel över Skripal-affären. Aja baja, tänk på era allierade!

Men mycket trycker man ju på hur rysk propaganda har influerat folks bedömning.
Svårt att se motiven med artikeln. Kanske man anser sig slå ett slag för grävande journalistik
Hoppas arbetet eller någon annan har idéer om artikelns syften.
edit:
Här är lite om reportern, ingen typisk genomsnittsamerikan i alla fall.

Before India, Ms. Barry was a correspondent and then bureau chief for The Times in Moscow. She arrived during a tentative thaw between the United States and Russia, which ended abruptly on the day in the fall of 2012 when Vladimir Putin announced he would return to the presidency, allowing him to rule for as long as Stalin or Brezhnev.
While in Russia, she was part of a team which won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for a series on impunity in the country’s justice system. She also covered the resurgence of Russia’s Cossacks, a meteor that slammed into the atmosphere above Chelyabinsk and a scandal that erupted at the Bolshoi Ballet, when an enraged dancer threw acid into the face of the artistic director.
Before joining The Times, Ms. Barry was Atlanta bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, and a reporter at the Boston Globe and the Boston Phoenix. She reported on the 2001 terrorist attack on New York, and covered wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ms. Barry grew up in a Foreign Service family, and lived as a child in the Soviet Union and Bulgaria. After college, she moved to Russia and worked at the Moscow Times.
