Some fake news has a political purpose.

Fake news is considered one of the serious threats to the health of the media space and public trust.

Mohammad Rahbari wrote, sharing part of his conversation with the Communications Management magazine: Negative news for blackmail and the amount paid in return usually occurs with two motivations; either it is a political motivation, meaning that an individual or a group wants to undermine the rival political faction for any reason.

Or the goal is to make a payment to the ransom news outlets to publish something against an organization or individual that forces that person or organization to respond, thereby assigning responsibility or a project to the extortionist.

This movement is more about trying to discredit that institution in public opinion so that they can pursue other goals, such as their political objectives or, for example, to bring the minister to impeachment.

This method is different from the situation where several media outlets or Twitter accounts publish something against a specific person to force them to supposedly pay attention to them.
