New Jersey Institute of Technology: Most Facebook News Links Are Unread by Users Sharing Them, Study Finds. “What are the odds Facebook users read the news articles they end up sharing with the rest of the world? Only one in four, according to a recent study of our news sharing behavior spanning almost a full U.S. election cycle, which was published in Nature Human Behaviour.”

Digital discord: Online disinformation sows discontent in Syria


But still, we are given #misinformation and opportunities for change are hidden from us, and the blame is set to the “other”.

We are told that change is too expensive unless it benefits the wealthy and the powerful.

We are not told we are trapped, or suffering.

We are only told to blame the other, the immigrant, the disabled, or human rights.

We are told that we are racist when we ask to stop a #genocide is happening.

Little #PSA to combat #misinformation, because apparently half of #US #Citizens don't know this: #NATO is a #Military #Defense #Alliance between the #USA and #Canada and most of #Europe. The main rule for joining is that the country must be a stable #Democracy with protections on human rights. The main terms of the treaty are that, if one country is attacked unprovoked, on their own soil, the others must send immediate military assistance, and counties must keep up a minimum military to be able to both defend themselves and come to the defense of others.

NATO is not a #trade agreement, though it does facilitate trade agreements to encourage peace.

NATO is not an #expansionist force. NATO is a pro-democracy force.

NATO is not anti-Russia, as #Russia was invited to join in the 90s. #Putin is anti-NATO because it's effectiveness limits his power.

NATO has only been called into one war: the US invasion of Afghanistan, with the triggering event being 9/11, when the US was attacked directly.

2/2. Sarah Ferguson continues her anti-#Labor rant about #inflation and #CostOfLiving.

People have jobs, wages are up, inflation is down.

Who's angry? People paid $2 million for a house worth $1 million?

#ABC #abc730 #journalism #misinformation #auspol


#Labor's tackled #inflation and now #InterestRates are set to fall.

Meanwhile the media is spreading the #misinformation that Australia's in the MIDDLE of a #CostOfLiving crisis.

🔹 ⬆️ Wages
🔹 ⬇️ Inflation
🔹 ⬇️ Unemployment
🔹 ⬇️ Interest rates (soon).

#abc730 #auspol


Sarah Ferguson: "EXTREME #CostOfLiving pressures... voter anger at the 10% increase in consumer prices since you came to office".

So, 3.3% per year? Why would informed voters be angry at the party that fixed the LNP's #inflation mess?

#abc730 #journalism #misinformation #auspol


The #ABC's idea of 'balance' is to have two people from the SAME POLLING COMPANY talking about the results of their anti-Labor push-polling.

Balance is when there's one person on each side of the presenter?

I'm not surprised if such things did happen. But I am not inclined to believe this (or any) particular narrative in the absence of proof.

Let's avoid the messy thinking the "others" engage in -- it is an iterative loop from which we must break free!

For US news, can't count on NYT or WaPo to call out lies anymore. Suggest you follow @w7voa and VOA (until trump dismisses him and messes with that outlet), @fulelo and BBC, DW, the Guardian, etc.

This is the crux of the #Trump problem vis a vis the #media #news #misinformation #disinformation #lies #Maga #MagaMedia

It's a quote from Oliver Darcy on Bluesky. I think his newsletter status.news is paywalled

But this is a perfect summary
The issue gets to the difficulty all news networks are grappling with as Trump returns to power. News executives believe that their programming should reflect the views of Americans across the political spectrum and are hesitant, to say the least, of icing out half the country in their coverage. But, at the same time, much of the country believes falsehoods pushed by Trump and his MAGA allies, such as the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. What is a news organization to do when so many people have been misinformed, almost entirely due to the toxic waste contaminating the public discourse as a result of Trump's lies and the propaganda pushed by his allies? Is it really the journalistically prudent decision to fold into coverage viewpoints that are not grounded in reality? Of course, the answer is quite simple: Amplifying those who promote falsehoods, even if they genuinely believe them, only serves to misinform audiences. But arriving at that conclusion would also mean acknowledging that truth-based organizations are primarily only going to serve one-half of the country, given that the vast majority of the Republican Party is under the trance of Trump and his propagandists. And that seems to be a reality that too many news executives, constantly enamored with attracting conservative eyeballs, simply cannot accept.


Meta is abandoning its misinformation program despite studies showing such programs are effective.

▪️ Why abandon it?

▪️ What impact could this have on misinformation online?

▪️ Why might Meta qualify this as a "censorship" issue?

▪️ How might young people be harmed as a result of this?

“Collapsing Empire: RIP 'Overt Operations'”

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

“It also demonstrates that ‘overt operations’ with open US funding are now the very ‘kiss of death’ the Endowment was meant to replace. The Empire is on the run.”

“Every sensible person understands the job of the BBC is to water down criticism of Israel and make false equivalences so it looks like both sides are equally to blame for genocide.”
