15/12/2018
According to BelTA Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko explained his attitude to fake information at the meeting with representatives of the Russian media on 14 December.
“In the course of time I learned to respond to certain fake news in a calm way,” Alexander Lukashenko said. “But the main thing for me is to realize who benefits from fake news and who spreads such information. I sometimes overreact to certain things in Russian mass media because I understand where it comes from. I am against it. It is much better to say certain things right in the eye or behind closed doors. I am in favor of such politics and against shadow plays.” The head of state said that he reacts to fake news in the Internet in a calmer way than to such news in traditional media. “Maybe, I am too conservative. Therefore, I have such attitude to books and newspapers,” the president added. “I seldom use the Internet, I don't have enough time, and it is not my goal.”
