they would see fake news from teenagers in macedonia or whatever the classic example is, and there would recognise immediately that it was not a real newspaper, they would check around, and it doesn't make sense. anna belkina, we heard their accusations about russia weaponising, and there were so many accusations against rt from various sources, and an you would say it is not the case with nato, theresa may, amanda anna belkina of france, the german government, the american government, they all said that russia is a perpetrator of fake news, and they point the finger at rt. a lot of the accusations against rt, those accusations are false, it must be false. he brought out the statements made by president emmanuel macron. rt has been the target of false information spread about it. you are accusing president emmanuel macron of spreading false information? he has repeatedly made false claims that rt has spread false claims that rt has spread false stories about their candidate. but during the duration of the campaign or after, they have failed to provide a single example of such a story. an

what russia does from macedonia to south america is that they go and dig up or make up elm bar eminem bare wassing things about people running for office. leak it to the media. get to the public square and use that as a basis to undermine democracy and elections and political candidates that voters can choose. in this case though it appears that russia's most willing partner was the democratic national committee and potentially the fbi working with glenn simpson and christopher steele. so, that's why it's so important to evaluate the typical manner in which russia approaches elections and how they may have been trying to undermine our democracy and our duly elected president, donald trump. >> jon: do we know what exactly the fbi did with this information from christopher steele? because the indications are that they said oh, yeah, we kind of already knew that and you just backed up our concerns. >> well, that seems to be the story now. but if we look at the text messages around this time between peter strzok and his mistress lisa page, we see a deliberate attempt, a deliberate executi

way he's kind of adopted or co-opted the term fake news which was originally deployed for you know macedonia teenagers looking for clip bait to create money or sputnik putting out. news stories that were truth adjacent that felt right to specific types of radicalized populations the united states like about him clintons hillary clinton's health or a pizza gate you know that the hillary clinton the clinton group were running a kind of child trafficking ring from a pizza parlor that was the original meaning of fake news and he's co-opted that said to his supporters the entire mainstream media what sarah palin used to call the lame stream media is fake news and now he wants to recognize truth that jason i think you've coined a new term there tyson and i. might want to clean up ownership of that one really quick. i want to talk about you know his claim though that that fake news is the thing that he is being and treated unfairly in the press does he have a point at all not only in the united states but also in europe around the world for example i mean the truth is is that the media is. can be p

ambassador to iraq, south korea, poland and macedonia. on a totally different story, ambassador, which is the swearing in of some new members of the senate, joe biden happened to be in town. he called those tweets unpresidential and he added this is not a game. there are others who are defending the president saying, this is who the president is. this is tough talk. or saying that the concerns about it are being overstated. what do you make of the tweet? >> well, first of all, i don't think the president quite realizes when he speaks, the entire world is listening. and, frankly speaking, as unpopular as our president may be in this country, he's about half as popular in south korea. his popularity is in the teens in south korea. so you have people there living literally in the shadows of north korean nuclear capabilities, living within 14,000 north korean artillery pieces. and we have a president who seems to think this is all a big joke. and, frankly, whether it's humor or whether it's just bad taste, he is really undermined u.s. leader.
