While Wikipedia touts itself as a neutral source of knowledge, critics accuse it of reneging on this core principle. Co-founder Larry Sanger denounced the encyclopedia in August as a place where US elites and spooks wage “information warfare” on the public.

YOUR ORIGINAL POST HEADLINE:

NATO discusses accepting Ukraine in exchange for ceding territory to Russia

NATO has had no discussions and issued no news release in accordance with above
  1. The article is the authors opinion in the event of a Trump presidential win.
  2. This is opportunistic misrepresentation - aka, disinformation - aka, fake news
NO WESTERN MEDIA COVER - WHY ?

WESTERN MEDIA
  1. If NATO was in any form of discussions western media would be on it like a fly on a pile of shit.
  2. Why ? Because western media survives on sensation - western media is not government sponsored - western media has to sell in order to survive.
  3. Western media is not controlled by autocratic authoritarian governments.
  4. Western media is controlled by oligarchies of shareholders who are loyal to one thing and one thing only - profits !
  5. Western media peddles sensation to attract reader count - reader count attracts commercial advertisers - commercial advertisers = profits.
  6. Profit is king ! This is uncontested capitalistic modus operandi.
  7. The implied disinformation news is far too sensational for western media to ignore in the interest of profits.

How Russia spreads disinformation via RT is more nuanced than we realise

The £200,000 fine handed out by Ofcom to the TV network RT (formerly Russia Today) for repeatedly breaching impartiality rules over its coverage of the Skripal poisoning is a powerful reminder of the tactics Russia employs to manipulate public opinion in the west. The daily deluge of disinformation produced by RT and Sputnik is a vital component of the tactics that other authoritarian regimes are seeking to replicate.

And evidence is mounting to suggest they routinely disseminate stories designed to sow division in the west and pursue the foreign policy goals of the governments that back them, consciously or otherwise. According to a report published by the Policy Institute at King’s College London, (Weaponising news: RT, Sputnik and disinformation), RT and Sputnik distributed no fewer than seven conspiracy theories about the Skripal poisoning.
