Is it possible to demonstrably prove false a made up falsehood?
What if I accuse someone of something, and then post that I accused them. The accusation maybe bogus but the post is technically not false.
- Fellshard 6y agoThat is the type of laundering language Twitter itself uses regularly in its 'Trending' tab editorializing: 'People angry at X', 'X accused', etc. Pre-framing a topic is malpractice.
- stvswn 6y agoThis is often the nature of stories in the public interest. No one ever proved a single portion of Christine DeBlasey Ford's accusations against Brett Kavanaugh but the fact that she was making the accusations were newsworthy enough. In this case, the following are true: (1) Hunter Biden was a highly paid board member of Burisma while his father handled Ukraine policy for the U.S. (2) A computer repair store owner claims to have his data and to have given it to Rudy Giuliani (3) There was a Grand Jury summons to seize the computer as evidence in an unknown investigation. This is far more than is usually needed to cover a story.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoI think it was more about the fact that she was making credible accusations.
