Do they link to Sputnik when they post propaganda from them?Termin8tor » 25 Jan 2018 3:47 pm » wrote:If you honestly wanted to check this out, you'd take the time to read Gateway, which doesn't do reporting or investigating on its own.Misty » 25 Jan 2018 3:30 pm » wrote:That crap that you have posted a hundred times from Gatewaypundit is garbage.
I knew it had to be ****, so I finally decided to check it out.
It only cites other sources, and there are always links to those sources.
A journalist sacked by the Kremlin-funded Sputnik news network claimed that right-wing U.S. outlets regularly disseminate fake news and conspiracy theories touted by the site.
In an appearance on MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber Tuesday, former White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg accused Sputnik of being “foreign propaganda, not news.”
He went on to claim that Sputnik’s influence on right-wing, pro-Trump, news websites is pervasive: “Many of the most popular articles about things like WikiLeaks and pizzagate and other conspiracy theories were prominently featured on the Sputnik website,” said Feinberg.
“And they get picked up by other American outlets – by Infowars, Breitbart and Gateway Pundit – right-wing media outlets, and Sputnik functions as part of this right-wing media ecosystem.”

I went straight to the DNI's assessment of FISA compliance.
Not Sputnik.
The Gateway Pundit (TGP) is a right-wing, far-right, pro-Trump website.
The website is known for publishing falsehoods and spreading hoaxes.
The Gateway Pundit has promoted false rumors about voter fraud and Hillary Clinton’s health.
In October 2017, The Gateway Pundit published an article falsely implicating an innocent person as the shooter in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
The article was promoted by Google as a "top story" for searches for his name.
Gateway Pundit asserted that New York Times reporter Rukmini Callimachi had reported that ISIS may have evidence that it was behind the shooting, but Callimachi rejected that she had ever made such an assertion.
In December 2017, Gateway Pundit published a reddit post as evidence that Democratic activists were committing voter fraud in the 2017 Alabama Senate special election.
The redditor behind the post later said that the post was intended "as an obvious troll."
When asked by the Washington Post, the writer of the Gateway Pundit post declined to say whether he had contacted the redditor to verify the information; later the Gateway Pundit story contained an update at the bottom: "Liberals say these are fake Reddit posts(?) Regardless, the posts are still up on Reddit and the posters are still encouraging Democrats to cheat."
Gateway Pundit published other falsehoods during the campaign for the Alabama Senate seat.
In January 2018, Gateway Pundit published a false story that Chuck Schumer received half a million dollars from pro-immigration groups just before a vote related to the United States federal government shutdown of 2018.
