I see a lot of posts lately, mainly in ‘world news’ communities, that when I investigate their source, I cannot come to any other conclostion that purposefully spreading of fake news and propaganda on lemmy.

I love this platform and want to see it thrive, but the fact that these kind of posts can so easily populate my feed is disturbing.

    You say wsj is reputable, and then suggest filtering Murdoch. Murdoch bought wsj in 2007.

      I didn’t put wsj as reputable. I said that even a journal considered reputable as wsj has been found publishing fake news in the past. That’s why I say that I am pro filtering all Murdoch media

      Edit. I added an adjective in the original comment to make it clearer
