"Let's see, we have a 400 word article on Squawker based on a 7 second sound bite from a Russia Today video that was reuploaded by 'Very Fake News'.

I would take it with a grain of salt."

"The video is from 2015. Squawker is recycling three-year old news as “recent” simply to add the word “Antifa” which is never spoken in the clip. There were no scuffles or confrontations of note.

The march itself was staged by a far-right blogger as a stunt (either to trigger their opposition in exactly this way, to trigger the Muslims, or both), and yes, one or two people interviewed said as much and used terms like “neo-Nazi”.

This is a case study in fake news."
