1. I described Taibbi as failing to meet a threshold of credible reporting for reasons I've explicitly stated in a fair amount of detail and further linking to a 3000 word artcle on it by someone who analyses disinformation professionally. You've characterised this as "essentially asserting". I am forced to conclude you are not a serious person.
2. Either you don't know or don't care that Dr. Caroline Orr Bueno is postdoc "at UMD’s Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS)." studying how disinformation works and propagates for a living. You are free to disagree with her analysis and mine if you like (how? where?) but to dismiss her work as "some unrelated amateur OSINT" tells me you're not genuine.
Further discussion with you is clearly pointless.
- waych 4y agoMost people claiming to be experts in disinformation are really just experts in disinformation. Beware.
- pphysch 4y agoOne of the clearest examples of this is Peter Pomerantsev
- pphysch 4y agoRussiagate truthers like Orr are analogous to Qanon truthers. They should not be taken seriously. They have a preconceived conclusion and cherry-pick evidence to support it. Both are deranged, baseless conspiracy theories designed to advance partisan interests. Full stop.
