This isn't the "fake news" that some of you cry whenever an article portrays your god-king in a negative light, but actual fake news.


quote:


Like much fake news, the story was based on a kernel of truth. The brief, tense confrontation happened on April 12, 2014, and the Pentagon issued a statement. Then in April, three years later, the story resurfaced, completely twisted, on one of Russia’s main state-run TV news programs.

In the days after the incident in the Black Sea, a Russian writer named Dmitri Sedov wrote an opinion piece, apparently meant to be satirical, that imagined the incident as an electronic warfare attack and described the panicked reaction of one crew member.



quote:


In an apparent attempt to drive traffic to the satirical piece, a series of posts meant to look like a letter from the crew member went up on Facebook in English and Russian, with a link to the original.



quote:

On April 15, 2017, the state-controlled Rossiya-1 broadcast a news report on the program “Vesti” about the 2014 incident...The main source? The Facebook post from the crew member, which quoted almost verbatim from the original satirical article in Russian.




They added in made up quote.



The story is picked up by British tabloids.



Then it ends up on Fox News.

You do understand the definition of the word "claims" right?

It means that is what they said they could do, which is what they did

Obviously we need to implement a ministry of information that will be in charge of pre-screening and censoring all news stories before it can be released to the public.

I'll bet that you must be so excited about the prospect of Donald Trump's hand picked personnel deciding what gets reported.

Where do you get all your anti conservative links?

Missed your "constructive" criticism the last 8 years.

This is the part of the thread where we all take a moment to salute the national flag of the Russian federation.

Any of my criticisms of Clinton on Obama get ignored because they aren't hyperbolic, same when I do (seldomly) give Trump administration credit. I'll get called a cuck if agree with Ryan etc. The only thing that people focus on is criticism against Trump or any statements that go against the grain on this board. Then I'm categorized and dismissed as a complete leftist because that is easier than to try to debate with a moderate.

US Naval Labs extensively test systems against EM Pulse weaponry , to the tune of billions of dollars, Systems are developed, tested, and countermeasures applied. Russian EM weaponry cannot completely disable USN assets. Not happening.

Maybe there's evidence you are a moderate. I only notice you posting anti Trump material.

I post more of it here because of the slant of the forum generally. On other more liveral sites I post to they see me as very conservative.
