Excerpt:

The current buzzword 'fake news' lacks substance because it has no clear definition and is used by politicians to describe narratives they don’t like, journalist Glenn Greenwald told a panel in Moscow.

Greenwald, who is best known for his collaboration with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, which exposed the scale of electronic surveillance conducted by the US and its allies worldwide, took part in an expert panel in the Russian capital dedicated to the phenomenon of "fake news" and its impact on relations between the people, traditional media and government.
