I think anyone has a brain can see the term fake news has been weponized by the right to shout down facts and the mainstream globalists to silence all oppoisition.

It's what authoritarian leaders like Trump, Putin or Erdogan do in order to question the opposition and make the public insecure about who to trust, yes. All that while spreading their own, wrong information. Despicable tactics.

  It was me who cited RT. I did that because the person who I replied to wanted me to find Russian sources that state those lies mentioned above. For "some reason" he "wasn't aware" of the fact that Russia makes straight up lies all the time, but could provide a lot of info (some of which is more of a conspiracy theory stuff) about the wrongdoings of USA. Which is weird since I wasn't talking about USA or defending it. The same tactic is used by the Russian trolls who bring up the "But USA..." -argument when they run out of other means. But how does it justify the wrongdoings of a country if some other country has also done bad things? That argument is deeply flawed and a sign of a loss.               

I know, I wasn't questioning you. I was just supporting you in your opinion. Sorry if you got that wrong. And yes, that's so called whataboutism.

 

"It's what authoritarian leaders like Trump"
