Comment on America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal -- [Opinion]
Gaywallet@beehaw.org 2 days agoThe quantity of disinformation is irrelevant if people don’t fall for it
I don’t know about you, but I find it increasingly difficult to find unbiased takes and find myself spending more time digging than I previously did. Because of this I find myself increasingly mislead about things, because the real truth might be so obscured that I need to find an actual academic to parse what information is out there and separate primary source from other mislead individuals.
Not to say I don’t disagree with your point, I think you make a fair one, but I do believe that the quantity of disinformation is absolutely relevant, especially in an age where not only anyone can share their misinformed belief online, but one where this can also happen by malicious actors as well as AI.

That’s true, I was being too reductive with my comment. What you’re describing is the Steve Bannon “flood the zone with shit” strategy.
