No one ever cares here. The NYT does this explicitly to avoid being an echo chamber but, well, people love echo chambers.

You mean “launder shit they couldn’t in a million years justify publishing otherwise”?

This was also an editorial: https://workingclasshistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/02.03-irrefutable-Washington-Post.jpg

Opinion columnist who they saw fit to print. Do you see any opinions there that are examining why the murder has been so widely celebrated, rather than manufactured consent crap like this?

Wait, there are people who don’t realize all the major newspapers are owned by billionaires and thus have severe capital and corporate biases independent of their policial leaning?

this is america. lacking media literacy is our whole deal. we tell ourselves to avoid propaganda, stick to the “real news” then people who grew up surrounded by propaganda come here and are like “oh holy shit, y’all actively consume propaganda, this is WILD”

So is the federal government, that’s why it’s okay when we’re mistreated and oppressed - the majority of public voted for it. Excuse me, the “majority of the public” voted for it.

Just cancelled my $1/wk subscription to NYT and straight up filled out all the surveys and feedback bits to say Bret Stephens sucks.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

!fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What’s the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.


Community rules

Same as instance rules, plus:

  1. No disinformation
  2. Posts must be relevant to the topic of astroturfing, propaganda and/or disinformation
