Disinformation is worse than a lie

It tries to kill faith that there is any truth.

Question: “Who do you believe was responsible for hacking the DNC...was it Russia or Ukraine?”

Senator Kennedy (R-La.): “I don’t know. Nor do you. Nor do any of us.”

1. The opening quote from the phenomenal Chernobyl miniseries this year:

“What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we will mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that, if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories?“

2. I have used the term malinformation

Mis/Dis-information that is intentionally harmful.

3. That's right. They're trying to destroy the idea of truth itself. nt
