The author argues that newspapers such as the \u003ci\u003eTelegraph\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMail\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSun\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eExpress\u003c\/i\u003e have been effectively waging a long-term propaganda war, with the distortions and borderline fake news presented one of the factors that helped secure the narrow majority for Brexit.
