Fake news stories were common all the way back to the first printed newspaper. Look at the news coverage especially between 1860 up to 1930. Most everything you read was a fabrication created by the News media which was owned and operated by the same people who funded all the political campaigns, who were the politicians themselves, were the non-elected poltical leaders (ie, Cabinet Secretaries etc etc) and the same people who later went on to create the Federal Reserve!!! Government/Press Created Wars include (but are not limited to); The Spanish American War, WW1, The Civil War (yes it was), The Viet-Nam War, The Mexican American War. etc etc. All of these started with collusion between the "Free Press" and those they worked for in government. It's so screwed up you cannot even distinquish the head from the tail. It's just one big gellatinous blob. Leviathan feeds itself.
Back to today: All major news corporations are owned by five parent Corporations. These five parent corporations also own ALL the major defense and military manufacturing companies in the US and these Big FIve also happen to have on their board of directors those who are on the board of the Federal Reserve and and these are in turn on the Board of almost everysingle major financial corporation in the world.
Do you know who the biggest campaign contributors are in US elections?
Defense Contractors
Media Companies
Financial Companies.
Why would the same people that control everything make fake news?
Well, to control everything of course.
Even NPR airs stories that are clearly fabricated to the aware listener.
Free Press is a joke. Not a very funny one either. If yopu want real news watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show.



Good OP by the way

, perhaps making it seem as if "the war" had already started. At any rate, this use of fabricated vids was very effective on the
