The fake news organizations, experts say, represent a technological leap in the Kremlin’s efforts to spread false and misleading narratives.

D.C. Weekly, the New York News Daily, the Chicago Chronicle and a newer sister publication, the Miami Chronicle.

In fact, they are not local news organizations at all. They are Russian creations, researchers and government officials say, meant to mimic actual news organizations to push Kremlin propaganda by interspersing it among an at-times odd mix of stories about crime, politics and culture.

    I’ve started using https://ground.news a lot. They use MBFC for accuracy/bias, and also group news articles on the same news item, so you can see the differences in bias cross the spectrum (as well as the variable titles used). That shows if only one side is reporting on an issue, or how editorialized the article titles are.
