Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

LMAO

Wasserman, the Berkeley journalism professor, says reporters may have been too willing to believe Wang because his stories neatly fit an overall narrative that is true: China does routinely target critics overseas, even though the government denies it. Wasserman also notes that – to some degree – the Chinese government is libel-proof.

"If you get it wrong, where's the harm?" Wasserman says some reporters may have figured. "If they didn't do it to this guy, they probably did it to somebody else."

We've been calling Libs out so much for this, they just seem to be embracing it now. They openly admit half the shit they read is lies but they don't care.

Honestly what are you supposed to do at this point? I don't think there's an effective way to counter propaganda people KNOW is BS.

Best I've got is Treat Entryism.
