Misinformation is too technical, too freighted, and, after almost a decade of Trump, too political. Nor does it explain what is really happening, which is nothing less than a cultural assault on any person or institution that operates in reality. If you are a weatherperson, youβre a target. The same goes for journalists, election workers, scientists, doctors, and first responders.
The biggest problem with disinformation is that it's asymmetrical.
Someone can tell a lie in ten seconds β "Haitians are stealing people's cats and EATING them!" β that will take WEEKS to refute.
