http://medialens.org/index.php/alerts/alert-archive/2019/899-fake-news-tsunami-the-mueller-report-and-peter-oborne-on-tom-bower.htmlDate Written: 2019-04-05 Publisher: Media Lens Year Published: 2019 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX23591 Analysis of recent news coverage that paints Corbyn as an anti-semite compared to that of the Trump campaign's supposed ties with the Russian government. Abstract: -- Excerpt: The key word, and the title of Guardian journalist Luke Harding's best-selling book: 'Collusion'. The rest of the book title, unfortunately for Harding: 'How Russia Helped Trump Win the White House' (Guardian Faber Publishing; Main, 2017). Harding was also lead author of a fake, front-page Guardian claim in November 2018 that Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's former campaign manager, had met Julian Assange three times in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Both Harding and Guardian editor Kath Viner have refused to respond to challenges posed, for example, by former Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald. Needless to say, our questions were also ignored. |
