Well said.See how easily misinformation and disinformation is passed along?
You don't need a huge army of bots to do it, you put out some well crafted, specifically targeted and deliberate information and people will push it for you.
Imagine what happens to people less aware than you.
Look at how much disinformation and misinformation is passed on in these very forums, which slowly become 'fact'.
Evidence is ignored, and often cements a person's view.
There are posters on bigfooty who have read your post, believed it, and will now pass that information on to others.
You will probably see it repeated in a months time as evidence to support some other falsehood.
I wish that those who spread these stories about muslims this or that, or Hillary running child sacrifices could see how these actual stories are made. These sites are often run by one person, who isn't a journo and sees it as a business proposition. It's knowingly made up.
MSM is s**t mainly but it's caused by commercial biases or omission, or an over reliance on government and military sources. Examples; children overboard, WMD.
