Liberal Left Lauren Weinstein chimes in with his (least :) favourite
right leaning "fake news" / Russian propaganda website (must have been
left off the list - seems the poor darlings are in overload with so much
fake Russian propaganda).

Oh, and to be sure you get the message from the Ministry, Lauren points
out that "Liberty Writers News" (all-caps unfortunately), is

   "this kind of deception that dreadful for-profit conspiracy sites like
   Liberty Writers News have been particularly adept at spreading"

Fake News and the Internet Shell Game

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/28/opinion/fake-news-and-the-internet-shell-game.html

   The use of social media to spread political misinformation
   online is partly just a giant shell game.  Propagandists often
   don't care whether everyone, or even most people, really
   believe the specific things they are selling (although it
   turns out that lots of people always do).  They don't have to
   get you to actually believe the penny is under the wrong
   shell. They just have to get you confused enough so that you
   don't know what is true. That's still deception. And it is
   this kind of deception that dreadful for-profit conspiracy
   sites like Liberty Writers News have been particularly adept
   at spreading.  Sure, some percentage of people actually
   believed the content of such sites (for instance, that Hillary
   Clinton was behind the death of a federal agent). But a far
   greater number of people came away ever so slightly more
   doubtful of what is true. They didn't believe Hillary Clinton
   ordered a hit, but they didn't disbelieve it either. It simply
   became part of the background, one more unsettled question.
