Always wise to be “very” careful one is not being fooled by a site which may well be something akin to Infonews which peddled, and allegedly still peddles, what they claim as genuine facts, which are later shown to be “fake news” (as per Trumpet…). The web allows all manner of disinformation, rumours with no substance, alleged “genuine/true“ reports from whomver/wherever to be be posted, and thus circulated in due course, and that site seems to be one…; who knows who’s behind it, and their motives too…? Oil barons come to mind, as do Russian, Chinese state organisations, as do far right groups in the US and elsewhere; not forgetting extreme left groups too?
Also one can bias a presentation of data from an alleged publication (selective editing etc.. of content and quotations) to give s specific POV; and often with less than a true representation of what was said; and/or with intent to deliberately mislead. Currently Putin is up to this game; and no doubt many others about the Ukraine situation are as well.Trumpet and his far right chums, the NRA, and Christian Taliban are well versed in the art. Goebbels a master of the "art" too and would have a field day if around today with all the web offers... During Obama's battle to establish a fairier medical system in the US... the HMOs, the Republicans (especially and the far right) - often via FOX news - misrepresented the NHS here and the equivalent in Canada. Clever use of words, biased reports and so on were considered the "real" facts - the truth; when in fact they were complete fabrications.
The tabloids use a similar approach with banner headlines; and sadly some of the broad sheets have adopted similar tactics. Big headlines with a deliberate slant to influence the reader; who is unlikely, in many cases, to read further and discover the finer details often buried in smaller print...; or research more fully both sources and content - and the biases of the writers /publishers.
