The Guardian newspaper did not publish an opinion column that suggested an award won by British broadcaster and former politician Nigel Farage was because of Russian money, as is claimed in a fabricated screenshot circulating online.
Examples of the fabricated screenshot circulating on Facebook can be found here, here and here.
But no such headline was published by The Guardian, said Cadwalladr in a written response to Reuters.
A spokesperson for the media group in an email also said the newspaper did not publish the headline.
A Google search did not show the fabricated headline (archive.md/xue2h).
