Disinformation is the deliberate use of lies to manipulate people, whether to extract profit or to advance a political agenda. Its unwitting accomplice, misinformation, is spread by unknowing dupes who repeat lies they believe to be true. In America today, both forms of falsehood are distorting our perception of reality.
In a democracy, the people need a shared set of facts as a basis to debate and make decisions that advance and secure their collective interests. Differences of opinion, and even propaganda, have always existed in the United States, but now, enemies of democracy are using disinformation to attack our sovereign right to truthful information, intellectual integrity, and the exercise of the will of the people. Online disinformation is particularly insidious because of its immediacy, its capacity to deceive, and its ability to reach its target.
No problem. Since the youtube video does indeed explain everything.
I could link you the Manufacturing Consent book too but that seems rather long for your simple question.
No it doesn’t.
Nobody asked a question, dipshit
Is that the sound of a liberal that can’t explain why his government refuses to call the Genocide israel commits a Genocide?
No, it’s the sound of me pointing out that you can try to spread this garbage everywhere but none of us are falling for it
Oops can’t explain that question of course. Gotta keep dodging it.
No, I literally answered your stupid question, keep up.
Basic reading comprehension is fucking hard for you, init?
I couldn’t read you explaining why the Democrats are supporting a Genocide.
That’s because I didn’t.
Because I’m not going to.
Because you’re a bad faith dipshit who won’t listen to basic fact and everyone here knows it
Oh cool so you can’t explain why both sides aren’t the same but still deny it.
And that is the sound of someone going ad hominem when they feel insecure.
if you could explain it, why didn’t you?
And redirecting too! Wow, you’re managed to hit several of the bad faith talking points that conservatives use.
>bad faith talking points that conservatives use.
this is pigeonholing
i just got here. tone it down.
Because Linker and you both have a history of willful stupidity
Which you of course know because you’ve been told this many times
your characterization of other users doesn’t absolve you for having to defend your position.
Yeah, actually, it does
Disingenuous pricks like you don’t actually listen when points are made, so instead we point out that you’re acting in bad faith and laugh while downvoting.
You should know this by now it happens to you guys all the time
your accusation of bad faith is, itself bad faith.
i can’t downvote on mastodon. you’re tilting at windmills.
>Yeah, actually, it does
no, it doesn’t. a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. when someone is asked to support their position, and they instead attack the person asking, no one should believe their claim.
Can’t respond to that one because you know I’m right. Quick pivot.
My last message and I am disengaging from you since neither you nor any of this are worth my effort. You can’t point at someone and say “see, you don’t have the answers to everything therefore I win, checkmate, home run, idiot”. If you had a real point to make, you’d have done so long ago. Instead, you’re just slinging a bunch of turds around and then pat yourself on the back for a job well done. I’m here to tell you that you have failed to convinced a single person of anything you said. Further, you may not actually believe anything you say and only say it in an attempt to feel better than others. Both of these things are very unhealthy and are something that you should resolve for your own health and safety.
