But they are not alone ....
A recent evaluation published by The Intercept, a US journal, says that George W. Bush's Iraq War Lies had already created a blueprint for Donald Trump. The author James Risen comes to the conclusion that the officially sanctioned conspiracy theory, hinting at Saddam Hussein for being behind the 9/11 set of attacks, was a dangerous precedent of what followed under Donald Trump.
Nobody would have imagined that just some years later a brandnew Republican President of the United States could beat all standards. It's almost unbelievable but the Washington Post fact check can prove that Donald Trump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years in office.
As to Vladimir Putin things are not really better. After having silenced Russia's once pluralistic press, he is now in control of the media and keen to promote there his own crude nationalist stance derived from the times of Stalinism while running amuck in Ukraine.
As a result of such development in Russia and the USA, the collection of authentic news has become more difficult for the honest type of a journalist. The invasion of junk news that we recognize as a giant fake news attack meanwhile even swapped into Europe targeting people of low as well as of high education, thus sowing uncertainty on all levels of society.
