Right Wing Fake Newspapers Push Propaganda, Disregard Truth – Center for Illinois Politics

A string of local papers published by Local Government Information Services, which has ties to Dan Proft, have no regular publishing schedule but turn up as election time nears. “The accelerating loss of legacy local news outlets combined with the growth of faux local news operations is creating a perfect storm of misinformation and disinformation in many communities,” Tim Franklin, senior associate dean of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism said.

If the MSM did their job, there would be no need for such regime – critical ‘samizdat’ publications as those discussed in this article…

All misinformation and disinformation(whatever that is) is emanating from the Left.
All they have to offer is lies. Anything that they do not agree with is the two mentioned “isms”.

The school is the original Bud Light of the Big 10.
