- 0xy 6y agoMost disinformation comes from mainstream media, especially the harmful stuff. For example, Washington Post falsely claimed Russia hacked into critical US energy infrastructure. The story was fabricated. The New York Times falsely claimed, repeatedly, that there were WMDs in Iraq. The story was fabricated, thousands died. Hence why not a single media organisation in the US is trusted by more than 50% of Americans, including "neutral" (self proclaimed but false) organisations like the Associated Press.
