In the Age of Misinformation, let's remember these headlines after the Titanic sank.
During wireless chatter, someone asked: "Are the Titanic passengers safe?” An answer came: "The ship is being towed to Halifax and everyone is ok." That 2nd transmission didnt refer to the Titanic, hence the error.

Misinformation is purposeful and intended.

That and JP Morgan canceling last minute.
Read of collision, but all saved: maybe start collecting clothes to replace lost luggage, reassure yourself that it's only stuff after all.
LATER, read of massive loss of life - quite a reversal, & a very up/down day!
The misinformation these days, seems to be based on ignorance and conspiracy theories.
"This has happened before and will happen again."
I can't even watch us turn into Gotham
1912 really said "no fact checking, just vibes" and ran with it. The OG lesson in why we need to verify our sources 🤔
And here we are 112 years later still fighting misinfo. Some things never change 🦋
Yikes.

And a weird one :-)
Seriously though - how on earth did I type syncing? I'm using a desktop and keyboard, so I can't blame predictive text or non-working voice recognition! Time for more coffee I think...
(That's all major media and social media empires)
except that we are now in the Age of Disinformation...
and not Misinformation...
as you seem to say at the beginning of your initial post...
Nowadays, it's deliberate disinformation by mainstream media
(not only by Trump even if he's also into Disinformation)...
and not Misinformation.
but all the mainstream media lies
about what happened in Amsterdam last week...
was deliberate Disinformation...
When you show images of Israelis beating Dutch people in the streets and say that it was Israelis beaten by Arabs...
it is Disinformation.
Majority are your neighbors & kid’s friend’s parents & in front of you at the grocery store. (tho getting fewer&fewer)
We do our best not to make mistakes but they happen & we do try to fix them very quickly

One of the most effective "non-violent" tools to overthrow an anything.
But a reminder is always good and appreciated!
