'''Fake news''' refers to bias in the media that is so misleading that it is actually false. It can also include assertions of a non-political nature that seem believable but are untrue. It often incorporates the use of questionable or unnamed (and most often, non-existent) "anonymous sources" that present one or more of the following characteristics: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, or a complete lack of transparency.<ref name="mediabiasfactcheck.com">Questionable Sources, https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fake-news/</ref>
Examples of major mainstream fake news stories in the recent past are:
*Russia attacked [[Poland]], a [[NATO]] ally.
*Russia blew up the [[NordStream]] pipeline.
*There are no Nazis in the Ukraine government or armed forces.
*The targeted extermination of ethnic [[Russian]]s and Russian-speakers by the [[Ukrainian]] government in the [[Donbas]] between 2014 and 2022 is not [[ethnic cleansing]].<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/01/17/ethnic-cleansing-in-donbass-kiev-prepares-republics-for-croatian-storm/</ref>
*That the [[Waukesha Christmas parade massacre]] was a "crash" or "accident" rather than a racially motivated domestic terror attack by a black nationalist and [[BLM]] supporter.<ref>https://twitter.com/DrewHLive/status/1463529916717096965</ref>
*The [[Hunter Biden]] laptop is Russians disinformation.*That there was no election fraud in Arizonain 2020 or 2022.
*That use of [[ivermectin]] as early treatment against [[COVID-19]], which is often successful, was causing an overflow of emergency rooms at hospitals by patients harmed by the formulations for horses - not true at all.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/gunshot-victims-horse-dewormer-ivermectin-oklahoma-hospitals-covid-1220608/</ref>
*That a [[Trump]] supporter supposedly bludgeoned a [[United States Capitol Building|Capitol]] police officer to death with a fire extinguisher, on Jan. 6, 2021, which the ''[[New York Times]]'' did not retract until weeks after its publication.

==Russia-Ukraine war==
{{See also|Russia-Ukraine war}}
In their drive to stoke hostilities between [[the West]] and Russia, corporate media ignored the fact that the U.S. and NATO forces have been supporting openly Neo-Nazi paramilitaries in Ukraine for many years. A MintPress study of the op-ed pages of ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'' and ''The Wall Street Journal'' found that only one of 91 articles published in January 2022 mentioned this connection at all, with far more asserting that Vladimir Putin himself is Hitler incarnate. Around 90% of opinion columns pushed a “get tough on Russia” message, with anti-war voices few and far between.<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/279612-2/279612/</ref> “People who take at face value the Western media coverage would have a very distorted perception of the Ukraine conflict and its origin,” [[Ivan Katchanovski]], Professor of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa, told MintPress, adding:
[[File:Wolfsangel.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Ukrainian flag with Nazi SS Wolfsangel insignia.

{{quotebox-float|"They omit or deny that there is a civil war in Donbas even though the majority of scholars who [have] published or presented concerning this conflict in Western academic venues classify it as a civil war with Russian military intervention. The Western media also omitted that recent ‘unity marches’ in Kharkiv and Kyiv and a staged training of civilians, including a grandmother, were organized and led by the far right, in particular, the [[Azov Battalion|Neo-Nazi Azov [Battalion].]]”<ref>https://twitter.com/I_Katchanovski/status/1490034084600594436</ref>}}
===Propaganda war===

According to Dan Cohen, the Washington DC correspondent for ''Behind The Headlines'', more than 150 public relations firms have joined the Maidan regime's propaganda blitz.<ref>https://www.prweek.com/article/1748159/global-pr-community-rallies-help-ukraine-government-comms</ref> Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned praise from a [[NATO]] commander who told the ''Washington Post'', “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also [[psy-ops]].”<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/03/16/ukraine-zelensky-information-war/</ref> The head of Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs digital ecosystem for global communication<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/turb.png</ref> distributed a dossier folder with materials instructing public relations agencies on “key messages,”<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/turb1.png</ref> content for debunked propaganda constructs, approved language, and [[Neo-Nazi]] propaganda.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220305150557/https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QE65-hyob6BzyFwYheQXLZjjlxnNsrrs</ref> Many elements within the dossier folder use [[xenophobic]] and [[racist]] language, and some are explicit in their praise of prominent Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, including C14 leader Yevhen Karas who boasted that “we have fun killing”, the [[Pravy Sektor ]] [[fascist]] paramilitary, and the Neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]]. Multiple images call for “[[Banderist|Banderite smoothies]]” – a reference to [[Molotov cocktail]]s named for the late [[OUN-B]] commander [[Stephan Bandera]], who collaborated with [[Nazi Germany]] in the [[mass murder]] of [[Jews]] and ethnic [[Polish|Poles]] during [[World War II]]. Another image depicts a book titled the: ''Encyclopedia of Incurable Diseases,'' listing Russia, [[Belorussia]], [[North Korea]], [[Syria]], and [[Eritrea]].<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/@juliasmal_Book-scaled.jpg</ref>
“Such Russian clichés like ‘referendum in Crimea’ or ‘will of the people of Crimea’ are absolutely unacceptable,” the dossier states, in reference to the 2014 overwhelmingly successful [[Crimean Annexation]] referendum. The ddossier deems unacceptable the terms “Civil war in Donbass,” “Internal conflict,” “Conflict in Ukraine” and “Ukrainian crisis” to describe the Ukrainian military’s war with the breakaway republics of the Donbass region. In place of these phrases, the dossier calls for the use of the terms “Armed aggression by the Russian Federation in Donbass, international armed conflict, Russian war against Ukraine, Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict.”
===Ukraine missile attack on Poland===
[[File:FT Zelensky.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The globalist mouthpiece ''Financial Times'' of London, which led the world in spreading Russophobia and cheerleading for war, openly criticized Zelensky's lying about Ukraine's false flag attack on a NATO ally to incite direct NATO involvement with troops and risk global thermonuclear war.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-open-thread-2022-201.html</ref>]]
On November 15, 2022 two Ukrainian [[S-300]] missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian cruise missile, were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians. The [[Polish]] government, Ukrainian government, the ''[[Associated Press]]'',<ref>https://apnews.com/article/nato-ap-news-alert-europe-poland-government-and-politics-ba48101fd25c86e68e57dc56fe2adf80</ref> most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5.<ref>https://twitter.com/anders_aslund/status/1592616431291535360</ref> Zelensky advisor [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] declared that the strikes came from Russia. Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba claimed Russian denials were a [[conspiracy theory]] and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages."<ref>https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1592632386751434752?s=20&t=TtnVQsVODlidTZoknWqWpg</ref> Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant escalation” of the conflict.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/world/kyiv-strikes-russia-zelensky-peace-intl/index.html</ref>
However an AWAC radar plane and other ISR aircraft (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) aircraft regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the [[Kyiv regime]] had launched the missiles. That did not prevent an anonymous "senior U.S. intelligence official" from reporting to the ''Associated Press'' that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland. The [[fake news]] story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its [[CIA]] counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.
CNN broadcast a statement from [[Ukrainian Nazi]] propagandist Mykhailo Podolyak, “Russia has turned the eastern part of the European continent into an unpredictable battlefield. Intent, means of execution, risks, escalation – it is all coming from Russia alone. And there can be no other explanation for any missile incident here."<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/europe/poland-missile-russia-ukraine-investigation-wednesday-intl-hnk</ref>
When called out on the [[lie]]s, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down.
===Bombing Babi Yar===
Ukrainian propaganda ministry reported, "On 16 March, the Russian forces dropped a bomb on a drama theatre where up to 1300 civilians were being sheltered. The number of casualties is still unknown.” However, as Max Blumenthal reported the explosion appears to be the result of a [[false flag]] operation designed by the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and aimed at triggering a NATO intervention.<ref>https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/18/bombing-mariupol-theater-ukrainian-azov-nato-intervention/</ref>

==Russiagate in a nutshell==
The corporate media was so heavily invested in the Trump/Russia conspiracy fraud, and hatred for Trump remained sufficiently high in 2021 that the gigantic fraud the media perpetrated on the country for 5 years remained unacknowledged. The journalists who committed the most fraud in Russiagate were the ones most rewarded. [[Glenn Greenwald]] summed it up: "It really is this simple: in the corporate media, the more you lie, the more you get promoted, as long as you lie for the right cause and the right people (the security state)."<ref>https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/09/16/russiagate-in-a-nutshell-glenn-greenwald-sums-up-the-latest-on-john-durhams-investigation-pulls-hillary-clintons-old-tweet-about-trumps-covert-server/</ref>
