i never said he was paid by the russian state, that he was wrong or that I even disagree with many of his positions. He carries the russian line though. That’s just a factual statement.
A mouthpiece is a spokesman who speaks on behalf of someone else—a tool wielded and controlled by the originating speaker. It’s named after the part of a brass instrument, because the brass player is in control of their own instrument.
I’d just call them a “well-known Russia supporter”.
fair enough, I just thought it was more nebulous. ie “My annoying neighbor is a total mouthpiece for the Mormons, coming over every day and inviting me to church”. I can see that, i’ll edit my comment because I didn’t intend to imply that.
