L00b Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 There is actually a difference between publishing a document containing unsubstantiated allegations and fake news, providing the publisher makes clear the unsubstantiated nature of the allegations. I still think it's very dubious but it's not fake news in the way that the Breitbart story I linked to is. If buzzfeed had written about a dossier that doesn't exist or lied about the content of the dossier that would be fake news.How about in today's Mirror? It's well-known and fully documented that the US bought SU-27s from Ukraine in 2009, for its decades-old and 'Top Gun'-famous Aggressors squadron (which has long used Russian camo schemes exactly per the DM story, and is based a minutes-flight away from A51). All of that a mere Google click away. I'd laugh, if the story wasn't so despairingly frenzy-whipping, and not just another one amongst a mind-numbingly large number of other, similarly reality-distorting 'news'.
