    Amusing that even in an article about 'Fake News' the likes of Rolling Stone can't resist the temptation to indulge in a bit of their own.

    "propagating the (verifiably untrue) conspiracy theory that Trump never uttered the words “there are fine people on both sides” when addressing the violence at the Unite the Right rally in 2017."

    Nowhere in the linked video is that claim made. The video even uses those exact words when quoting President Trump, multiple times.

    But Rolling Stone have a long history of making stuff up.

    "Rolling Stone has agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by the University of Virginia fraternity at the center of a discredited article about an alleged gang rape, effectively closing the door on a pivotal and damaging chapter in the magazine’s history.
    Under the terms of the settlement, the magazine agreed to pay the Virginia Alpha Chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity $1.65 million. The fraternity had originally sought a trial by jury and $25 million in damages."
