Pro-Kremlin fake news sites, posing as US media outlets, have proliferated in recent months, outnumbering actual US newspaper sites and contributing to a loss of trust in traditional media. These AI-driven sites have spread unverified claims and falsehoods, including a false assertion that Democrats planned to assassinate former US President Donald Trump. The trend has facilitated the spread of polarizing narratives and is said to be part of a broader trend of fake news sites that erode trust in traditional media outlets. US officials warn that foreign powers such as Russia and Iran are increasing efforts to interfere in the November 5 election through these fake sites.
