What are effective ways of pushing back / correcting disinformation?

Expand full comment

I wish there was an easy answer for this. Honestly, I don't know. I've tried with my own relatives to show the the correct information when they were spewing misinformation, and only got push back with, "That's a left-wing source, I don't trust it." Sources like NPR and AP.

Dominion's lawsuit against Fox News, you'd think would have done something, but Republicans still spew Dominion related conspiracies.

There is no such thing as trans.

Putting on a costume does not make you what you are pretending to be.

The rest of us damn sure don’t have to go along with your perverted fetish.

Tell me your dead name so I can say it.

It's very similar to the satanic panic days, but the right is just a little more rabid.

"We truly live in the age of disinformation, where people who have no basis in reality have been elected to the upper echelons of our government."

^^^^^ Soooo very true. Millions have fallen down rabbit holes....

These idiots are an embarrassment to the US.

The disinformation fight has to be our first priority. There's so much out there we have to battle on social media, and now that AI has been added to the mix, the potential damage control is exponential. And, honestly, it's one thing to say "We need to be more tolerant of differences of opinion because that's the only way we can begin to fight the good fight." But too many white Christian nationalists refuse to listen. Ironically, if they took off their tinfoil hats and practiced what Jesus really advocated in their sacred bibles, the world actually could be a better place. SIDEBAR: Speaking of those whose tiny little brains believe all the disinformation, here's a link to some comic relief. (Just over 2 minutes.) Which I personally needed. Happy Thanksgiving in advance. This may help at your family gatherings. LMAO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kyRNRZBB4M

OMG. I just can't with these people. Do they all have a mental illness which doesn't allow them to live in reality? Maybe they could live with the aliens in the ocean.
