Observing media coverage of the bombing of Iran, you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching a rerun of Iraq two decades ago. Mainstream outlets were all too happy to parrot the Trump and Netanyahu administrations’ line.

USA media has been against Iran since the 1950s, when the USA and Uk overthrew the democracy there.

This was before the many mergers occurred that resulted in the corporate controlled news today .

Fediverse vs Disinformation

1543 readers
7 users here now

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.
