In November 2014, Weiss published a special report in his online magazine the Interpreter that accused Russia of waging "propaganda and disinformation" campaigns. Weiss's report included recommendations on how to confront Russian propaganda which included creating an “internationally recognized ratings system for disinformation.” The recommendations were criticized in The Nation by James Carden of the American Committee for East-West Accord as a "censorship campaign."
