Alternative news website Naked Capitalism has struck back at the phoney war against ‘fake news’ websites by launching a lawsuit against The Washington Post. As the “fake news” hysteria grows to unprecedented levels following the fraudulent list of so-called “Russian propaganda websites” published by the PropOrNot organisation, Naked Capitalism’s Yves Smith has threatened The Washington Post with a defamation lawsuit in response to their attempt to silence alternative media by attacking sites listed by PropOrNot. Zerohedge.com reports: As the lawyers like to say, res ipsa loquitur.

As the "fake news" narrative grows, and The House quietly passes a bill to "counter Russian propoganda" websites, one alleged 'fake' news wesbite - as defined by the farcical PropOrNot organization - has struck back. Naked Capitalism's Yves Smith has threatened The Washington Post with a defamation suit and demanded a retraction.
