You. Yes you. You are the target of a massive disinformation campaign.
Corrupt, evil powers of the world do bad and nasty things. And their tactic is to then flood the world with tons of fake news. They don't have a good way to spin it, so they drown the truth. /thread
These evil powers will try to delegitimize journalists who report the truth. Journalists will be attacked, arrested, sometimes killed.
Journalists and investigators are on the front lines of this information war. And they're our only hope for finding the truth.
Inoculate yourself from this by recognizing where disinformation comes from and don't trust those sources.
And try not to be so outraged, fear driven, or believe everything you read or see. This knocks you off balance and distracts you.
Stay focused. Stay centered. It's not going to get better from here. Evil powers recognize how powerful this is and are using it more than ever. It's going to be harder to spot the truth. But don't give up. Don't let them win.
Even the good guys. Even your side does stuff like this. They do bad stuff, and then try to erase that, distancing themselves from it and not owning it. It's also important to hold your own side accountable for the bad things they do.
