The unit’s experts found more than 2,500 examples of “stories directly contradicting public facts” in 18 different languages over just 15 months.

The stories were repeated on a daily basis and reproduced in multiple languages.

Fake news stories uncovered by the task force range from conspiracy theories over who shot down Flight MH17 over Ukraine to claims the EU is planning to ban snowmen as “racist”.

They also include a fake terror video threatening attacks in the Netherlands if the country supported an EU association agreement with Ukraine.

How is reporting a threat fake news? How is making a threat fake news? The threat may be bluster or empty but it is made and a verbal or written threat.

Do you seriously think a story that claims the EU wants to ban snowmen as racist is Russian propaganda which threatens European elections?

You’re either dumber than I thought or John Brennan.
