The nonsense info from the self-styled Global Disinformation Report |
Disinformation about disinformation:
At its heart, the disinformation panic is becoming a textbook example of how a "solution" can do more harm than the problem it is designed to address. Educated campaigners such as Clare Melford may think they are doing the world a service, but in fact they are acting as intensifying agents, lending legitimacy to a conspiratorial world view in which governments and corporations are in cahoots to censor political expression. Unless something is done to stop them, they will continue to sow paranoia and distrust — and hasten us towards an increasingly radicalised and divided society.

ADDED: Looking at the chart above, NPR is at the top of “Least dangerous”. When they have just had one of their senior staff, a whistleblower, tell us just how biased they are. They were non-stop on the Russia Collusion hoax, for three years, completely wrong, and not a whisper of apology. They refused to run the Hunter Biden laptop story, when it was true and highly newsworthy. Not to mention some of the others, like The New York Times, even, or the always-biased Huffpost. If you invert the chart, you’ll be better informed. Unless you like to be duped. And some people do.
