War on Fakes claims to be a fact-checking service countering “an information war launched against Russia.” Its “fact-checks” are actually pieces of pro-Russia disinformation full of falsehoods.
War on Fakes, a website and Telegram channel operated from Russia, claims to be a fact-checking service countering “an information war launched against Russia.”
Many of its articles attempt to shift blame for atrocities from Russia to Ukraine. Russian ministries, embassies, propagandists, and news agencies use Telegram and Fakebook to amplify the misleading stories.
But a review by PolitiFact shows that its "fact-checks" are actually pieces of disinformation that use— incoherence, a high volume of claims, repetition and the statement of obvious falsehoods— to confuse readers trying to understand what is happening in Ukraine. The project does that through the hijacking of the fact-checking format. Readers who go to fact-checks expecting the ultimate truth are actually met with deception.
