    Re: Three thousand fake tanks: How a network of conspiracy sites spread a fake story about US reinforcements in Europe

    The source offering to help you avoid fake news here, which should’ve been your first concern, is the Atlantic Council. I’ve got nothing but awe for your relentless skepticism, but there are times for skepticism around skepticism. Look at this a bit more closely, you’ll be surprised what you find. Sometimes it isn’t prior assumptions that’re the fatal flaws with self-appointed fake news fact checking operations. Sometimes they’re just on the other side of a war. Or staging one. Sometimes, as here, they’re just people who posted readily available answers without asking any actual questions in the first place.
