Just say "lies," people.
Why not call it lies again? Why all this careful maneuvering around calling them out? Why always so gentle? They call for people's death ffs.
It really depends what the individual clips are. They could be lies, mistruths, falsehoods, distortion. All are slightly different, usually to do with intent.
Who the fuck cares what exactly it would be called in a 100 % logical, purely neutral setting? These assholes need to be called out EVERY SINGLE TIME, right away, without fumbling around what it should be called!
I imagine lawyers* on both sides care
*barristers in the uk
While I agree wholeheartedly, the show hasn't been broadcasted yet. You don't yet know what you're calling out.
That is a direct quote from the channel’s chief content officer Ian Katz. So before it even started they already soften the blow. How likely is it that they now started doing that but did not do it for the collection of bullshit prior, when they created it? I doubt it.
This is exactly the same as calling it "immigration crackdown", absolutely disgusting.
(Hopefully Obvious Disclaimer: No, I'm not saying that Channel 4 is spreading disinfo. Yes, this is about trump lying all the time.)
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.
