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.
