And then you get the iron law of woke projection from useful idiots in response. I challenge anyone here who isn't a leftist to explain how you hope to have a meaningful exchange with leftists who are informed from these well documented lying reliable media outlets. Answer: You can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnyguy Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 The state run media and the corrupt administration are throwing everything against the wall to see what they can get to stick. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr-Bills Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 Seems like a lot of Russian smoke for there to not be some fire. You’d think a “truth teller” would notice that rather than literally reciting the same Smokey Russian talking points. I don’t expect anyone to parrot the Dem positions, my venn diagram overlaps but isn’t a complete circle, but I am surprised how easily the obvious Russian disinformation flows and how pernicious it is.

My problem was and is that the obsession with Russian "disinformation" overlooks the "Elephant in the room" which is most of what comes out of our government, and government's everywhere for that matter, are narratives based on self-interest, and not a desire for truth, and their messages are most certainly laced with disinformation too. So armed with this knowledge, that governments everywhere are less than forthcoming with the truth if it doesn't support their narratives, the logical approach is to be skeptical and questioning of everything government's everywhere communicate. Not just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's MSM propaganda for the drones! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you yourself have fallen for said disinformation so of course you'll downplay its significance. This position is absurd at every possible level. Americans being divided by a disinformation campaign led by a foreign power isn't something to be concerned about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally, Lord Haw Haw, and Hanoi Hannah raised valid concerns rooted in an honest search for the truth. Real critical thinkers would appreciate the nuance that they brought to public discourse. Edited September 6 by Coffeesforclosers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm objecting to the idea that you can cast off swallowing Russian talking points, which right wingers provably have, by simply saying, "well the government wasn't honest!".

SCBills Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) I, for one, enjoy being lectured about misinformation when we have independent journalists forced to call out The Associated Press for repeated attempts to frame stories for the DNC & Harris/Walz campaign. Nevermind the nonstop onslaught of lies from our mainstream media on a litany of politically charged issues, The AP literally sets the journalistic guidelines to be used by local media around the country. This needs to stop. And this is far more dangerous to our democracy than the constant fear mongering from China’s simps about Russia. A thread… 🧵 This lie is so blatant that The AP had to delete it. But not before it had millions of impressions and was picked up by local media around the country, along with being parroted by Dem surrogates and the Harris/Walz campaign.
