[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... is the "worst perpetrator" of fake news himself, according to the UN special rapporteur on freedom of expression and opinion.
In an interview published by Digital Rights Monitor on Wednesday, David Kaye blamed the president for spreading misinformation on the internet.
"Governments are real offenders when it comes to disinformation," Kaye said. "In my own country, the United States, the worst perpetrator of false information is the president of the United States."
Kaye noted that platforms such as Google, Facebook or Twitter should focus on fighting spam and bot accounts rather than on policing content. And even bots are "tricky, because there are good bots and bad bots."
"The platforms, I think, can do things that are more technical as long as they are not evaluating content. There are things they can do. They can’t just zap it and say, "This is fake news, it’s off the platform."
Trump has called the US media the "enemy of the people," frequently criticizing several outlets for spreading fake news. This is while the president’s Twitter account is itself replete with disinformation.

This as opposed to the UN, which makes up reality to suit itself.

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) has become a center for anti-Semitic activity in recent years. Much of this activity has been organized by the Muslim Student Union (MSU), a vocal student group at UCI, which is responsible for staging large events every spring featuring virulently anti-Semitic speakers.

When Trump spreads fake news it's because he generalizes and the grammar nazi's are all "there are exceptions!!!" When the left spreads fake news its simply fake stories designed to make Trump look bad.
