#DisinfoReview: How to make 500 victims of a suspected chemical attack disappear?


When you monitor and counter the constant flow of disinformation, even the wildest made-up stories hardly surprise you after time. But sometimes it really manages to get under your skin.
 
How would you measure the level of cynicism of the following statement on Russian TV?
 
“The Syria chlorine attack footage is a fake. Maybe naked and wet kids are shivering because it is cold. Some of the kids are maybe unconscious, or maybe they are just sleeping. It is good if the photos of the victims are just staged and people did not get killed for the footage. NGO Swedish Doctors has accused the White Helmets of killing children for a realistic picture.”
