A social media misinformation storm?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- 65a 4y agoWhat is the misinformation?
- krapp 4y agoWe know there is misinformation, because social media and mainstream media are well established at this point as platforms for disinformation, propaganda and psychological operations by various interests. We can (and should) assume for the sake of argument that we're being lied to about something, the only open questions are what about, by whom and to what end.

- wolverine876 4y agoThe issue is not that you are being lied to, but that you are spreading lies.
- ttyprintk 4y agoChina has labeled the multitude of balloons as US-Japan misinformation. I haven’t heard a denial, though.
- spacephysics 4y agoWhat’s misinformation about this? Honest question, I think the facts aren’t misinformation, that the US has shot down foreign aerial objects.

- luxuryballs 4y agothat’s what I’m saying, surely the government and military would never lie to the public
- Aperocky 4y agoCould have been there's always been plenty of aerial objects floating around, but it is now politically expedient to do something about it.
- nonethewiser 4y agoDo you actually think that's the case?
- krisoft 4y agoI actually do. It is dirt cheap to do (on the scale of national budgets) and can provide extra intel.
- ttyprintk 4y agoFox has latched onto the tethered surveillance balloons along the US-Mexico border as a symbol of Federal attention on the trickle of people.
