One doesn't have to define the problem before the solution bares fruit. And the solution makes the problem self evident. Tell the truth with abandon.

I call it a further complication that is not needed right now.

Polyfrenia..

Man, what happened to that guy? I used to really like his stuff on Vice when it first started.

steadyb23.bsky.social•78 days ago

LOL, you call it disinformation to the 2nd power.

cordial.bsky.social•78 days ago

At that point it's been collateralized, so you could call it a CDO.

This article appears to be using a flawed analogy to attack a legitimate journalist. Disinformation is a serious issue that requires nuanced analysis, not simplistic name-calling.

OMG look at the posts on this thing. Might want to spread those out so you don't appear to be a bot. LOL

Happily, I have no idea who that f--king guy even is.

missatlanticcity.bsky.social•78 days ago

I call it malarkey! 🥴

I think he's in it for the money rather than being a new Lara Logan

This moron blew the best rebel media start up in half a century - and blew it. He’s a loser. And frankly we needed that site to live up to what they preached.

a-hiisi.bsky.social•78 days ago

Duh, hyperdisinformation

megpark.bsky.social•78 days ago

Sounds like a book project for you David.

Meta disinformation

melodykayyoung.bsky.social•78 days ago

Who owns or pays for VICE?
I think that’s significant.
I’ve heard things.

You're all nuts. Lies are lies are lies. Period.

Disinfo-ception

I call it high school.

[Show] Canceling? Net value zero?

cassandrascharm.bsky.social•78 days ago

Hopefully, not information

ramrca.bsky.social•78 days ago

😂Bottomless lying pit.

vkenv.bsky.social•78 days ago

Disinformation about disinformation what gaslighting is all about.

davelefcourt.bsky.social•78 days ago

Active measures.

bertfoxson.bsky.social•78 days ago

I call it Dismissinformation. A combination of disinformation and misinformation that dismisses the truth completely.

laker44.bsky.social•78 days ago

Smith started Vice with his childhood friend Gavin McInnes who founded "The Proud Boys. That should tell us something about Smith.

mardunba.bsky.social•78 days ago

Dis-meta disinformation!

scottdwilliams.bsky.social•78 days ago

A paycheck from Russia.

francisluther.bsky.social•78 days ago

Two wrongs don't make it right.

toobiefrank.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s all propaganda regardless of the subject.

ronduplantis.bsky.social•78 days ago

Sounds like Smith is doing a Tucker Carlson type corruption of journalism. That is, asking questions (with no answers) that leads people to think the substance of the question is true. That’s not journalism. True J is ***thinking*** about Qs, researching them, and reporting the results, if any.
