Summary
The effort to destroy facts and make America ungovernable didn’t come out of nowhere. It is the culmination of seventy years of strategic denialism. In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society. Drawing on his twenty years of experience as a scholar of science denial, McIntyre explains how autocrats wield disinformation to manipulate a populace and deny obvious realities, why the best way to combat disinformation is to disrupt its spread, and most importantly, how we can win the war on truth.
McIntyre goes through the history of strategic denialism to show how we arrived at this precarious political moment and identifies the creators, amplifiers, and believers of disinformation. On Disinformation lays out ten everyday practical steps that we can take as ordinary citizens-from resisting polarization to pressuring our Congress people to regulate social media-as well as the important steps our government (if we elect the right leaders) must take.
On Disinformation empowers us to save our republic from autocracy before it is too late.

The description sounds non-partisan, but the book is firmly in the liberal camp.

Facts shouldn’t be partisan, Thamus.

My question is, will the media do anything other than protect their side. I find the media, with rare exceptions, a waste of an important idea.

it doesn’t really matter what camp it comes from, try understanding the idea, see the value and see where it lands in your ethical field.
Accepting frames like left/right, republican/democrat, libertarian/conservative is nothing more that playing by the rules who wish to manipulate us all.
Judging without introspection has no value.

@segascream but robbing facts of context is. For example, a news report saying “cops just shot and killed a guy” might be TECHNICALLY true, but if the article didn’t say (or the more usual, not mention anything until the very bottom of the article) that the guy had just shot and killed 3 cops, you might infer this was a case of police brutality or some BS.
There are plenty of times were people tell the truth only technically. Facts alone do not tell an accurate story.
That said, I have no idea if that is what this book refers to.

you f*cking idi*ts are why the comments were turned off in the politics and history categories. they even got turned off in the spiritual and religion category because you f*cking ret*rds have to spout your d*mb*ss opinions on every f*cking upload that has one of your st*pid trigger words. the only reason the comments aren’t turned off on this one is because it isn’t properly categorized.
