Russia launched Global Fact-Checking Network. It claims to counter Western disinformation. But concerns arise about its Kremlin ties. TASS and ANO Dialog are co-founders. Both have links to the Russian government. Experts question GFCN's standards. They cite biased articles and opaque methods. It mimics legitimate fact-checking groups. This action blurs lines between journalism and propaganda. Critics call it political appropriation.
