Thanks for the article! The words mis and dis-information make me shudder as does the idea of selected and conflicted fact checkers deciding what is truth. What is wrong with the usual language of true, false, misleading, opinion, spin and propaganda? Perhaps because the latter can’t be censored but mis and dis creates a whole new psychological definition for governments to control.
First class research Rebekah - again
One of your very best Rebekah.
Your research deserves wide dissemination but as usual, 99% of the population will remain unaware of what's really happening in the world.
Bread and circuses.
And this is just the tip of the "anti-disinformation" iceberg.
"They want to control us; they really want to control us."
Or: These guys are SERIOUS about their narrative control operations.
FWIW, your research inspired one of my "save-the-world" essays. My main point is the world's real rulers fear the "adults in the room."

Nice work Rebekah, there is a lot of misinformation and disinformation floating around in our federal election campaign but apparently that's ok
