Turkish presidet Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warmly embraced Trump’s “fake news” concept.
US president Donald Trump’s unprecedented attack on freedom of the press is being used as an excuse for repressive policies worldwide, according to Reporters Without Frontiers, a global press advocacy group.
“Predators of press freedom have seized on the notion of ‘fake news’ to muzzle the media on the pretext of fighting false information,” the group said in a March 16, 2017 statement.
