Line 9:
Line 9: + + − During the [[Korean War]], Wilfred Burchett of the [[extremist|extreme]] [[leftist]] New York ''[[Guardian]]'' newspaper made false reports on American use of germ warfare. Burchett accused the Americans of perpetrating "the most monstrous crimes against humanity." He said that in germ warfare the Americans had launched upon mankind a weapon more frightful than the [[atomic bomb]]. In 1998, however, news reports noted, "...documents from Russia's Presidential Archive finally prove, more than four decades after the fact, that the United States was the victim of a disinformation campaign scripted by [[North Korea]], [[China]], and the Soviet Union." A report by [[Lavernti Beria]], head of [[Soviet intelligence]], outlined the deception: "False plague regions were created, burials . . . were organized, measures were taken to receive the plague and cholera bacillus."<ref>Bruce B.

Another example of disinformation is the [[Climategate]] conspiracy, where results from weather satellites were doctored in order to support the theory of [[global warming]]. This was brought to light when the University of East Anglia released several emails written by the perpetrators of the tampering.

In modern times, liberals have begun attacking websites, information and opinions which they do not like (almost always conservative) by falsely labeling them as "Russian disinformation" to get those sites and anything else conservative censored and suppressed in search engines which liberals control, in effect taking a page from the above-mentioned Soviet-era [[Communist]] tactic while also conveniently ignoring that they supported actual Soviet disinformation coming from Russia when that country was part of the [[USSR]] during the [[Cold War]].<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/03/10/diet-google-duckduckgo-will-down-rank-what-it-decides-is-disinformation/ Diet Google: DuckDuckGo Will ‘Down-Rank’ What It Decides Is ‘Disinformation’] at Breitbart News Network</ref>
