An Oct. 2 Instagram post shared a clip from Sky News Australia, a conservative news channel, with the caption, “Kamala campaign LIES AGAIN!!!”

Just to be clear, Sky News is the Southern Hemisphere Fox News. Both Murdoch. This is why both outlets frequently do praise pieces on him, despite everyone knowing for many decades that he's a piece of shit.

And apologies from Australia that he wasn't killed before making his way to the US. In my personal defence, I wasn't here then, but the general understanding is that everyone was pleased he left.

Hey, I know them! Definitely not Democrats. I stopped buying pumpkins from them because of all the Trump signs and political nonsense.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

I have a doubt.

Don't. Just believe. It is more fun that way

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago

I'm sure.

Can they sue them for defamation?

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 11 points 2 months ago

I would, especially because of the harassment they suffered as a result of the false claim

No idea, but it's pretty scummy how the republicans can ruin so many people's lives just by making their crazy claims.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

545 readers
30 users here now

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
