The Guardian
flagship outlet of 'liberal' media, Britain & USA
ran piece highlighting two bald-faced lies:
That Julian Assange:
1. praised Trump, expressed optimism re Trump presidency
2. described Russia as marketplace of ideas with tremendous amount of free expression
THE GUARDIAN CLAIMS BORE NO RELATION to interview that THE GUARDIAN was purporting to paraphrase
interview - Assange with Italian journalist, STEFANIA MAURIZI
STEFANIA MAURIZI tweeted / outraged
> message was almost completely ignored
meanwhile, THE GUARDIAN article, has been tweeted & reprinted
& basically heralded the world over
*hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting members of the public THE WORLD OVER now have picked up the PROPAGANDA from THE GUARDIAN
& are convinced that Assange said these things, which were calculated to defame Assange, according to Prof. Mark Crispin Miller
> so as to discredit truth-telling Aussie journalist, JULIAN ASSANGE
LATEST PROPAGANDA salvo to demonise Assange & to punish him for his truth-telling
RT reporter: We are hearing term 'fake news' is this to help us distinguish or other reasons?

'Fake News' is a serious problem
> not b/c there is fringe outlets that post falsehoods
Fake News is a problem b/c the CORPORATE PRESS itself pumps out so much of it [ie. WESTERN CORPORATE PRESS/MEDIA FAKE NEWS]
these claims in THE GUARDIAN are just one example of FAKE NEWS that has been propagated as truth

> cannot begin to even catalogue all the nuggets of FAKE NEWS that have been used to keep the war in Syria going
RT reporter:
STEFANIA MAURIZI, who did interview with Assange, has protested that THE GUARDIAN deliberately distorted her interview with Assange
> like you said, it was a bald-faced LIE
BUT why has the press chosen to IGNORE this Italian journalist's protest, even as they re-tweet the false claims in THE GUARDIAN?
Mark Crispin Miller

Why would they pay attention to her attempt to set the record straight, since what we're talking about here is clearly a DELIBERATE PROPAGANDA EFFORT to DEFAME JULIAN ASSANGE and with no concern for accuracy, truth or any of that old fashioned stuff.
Why would they mention the actual objections of the journalist that did the interview with him: it would defeat the whole purpose of this FAKE NEWS EFFORT TO ATTACK ASSANGE and to add to the long list of attacks on him, over the last few years.
