Spot on. Don't waste your breath though as people are fine with fake news as long as it lines up with what they want to hear.
Guardian did a small article on Mensch and Taylor yesterday -
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/may/16/fake-news-sites-reports-facts-louise-mensch
If you're fine with using Mensch and Taylor as sources then you're just as bad as the fake news that helped get Trump elected.
Sane thing to do would be ignore them both. If what they say is true, it will eventually make its way to the mainstream press who have higher standards of sourcing.
One thing i've noticed with Claude and Mensch is that they're constantly mocking the main stream media for not being quick enough with the stories or accusing the media of stealing their stories.
These people dont seem to realise that the media have to check, double check and triple check before they can publish and got to verify with multiple sources. Its much different than tweeting a claim.
Look at the below tweets which they created or retweeted. They seem to have a huge ego problem and think the world revolves around them.
