Truth is no longer dictated by authorities, but is networked by peers. For every fact there is a counterfact and all these counterfacts and facts look identical online, which is confusing to most people.

‘Ghostwriter’ is an ongoing influence campaign of fake news aligned with Russian security interests leveraging website compromises or spoofed email accounts to disseminate fabricated content, including falsified correspondence from military officials.
Ghostwriting refers both to the hidden agenda of the creators of these fake news and also to the difficulty the public has to distinguish between false and real information among the constant stream of information.
