It chronicles how the media, even subtly, misguides people by leaving out key information.

Fake News can be overt but often it is subtly fake. Oftentimes, like in this article, it implies something is new or a new policy when it has in fact been going on for a long time.

It is important to point this out all the time.

That may be true, but the article is purveying fake news in suggesting that our policy towards Egypt has suddenly changed under Trump.

That may be true, but we were arming Egypt under Morsi as well.

We were arming Mubarak and Morsi (and every other Egyptian leader) right along. Our policy has not changed under Trump whether the leader of Egypt is a “tyrant” or not.

This is the same website that published Edward Snowden’s leaks.

It makes me think Snowden was, and STILL IS, working for the CIA.

Actually once Al Sisi was voted in and Morsi tossed out, 0bola either stopped aid (arms or $ or whatever, I can’t remember) and Saudi and Russia stepped in.

And of course the article lies.
