WASHINGTON – Following the killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis, FBI director Kash Patel has advised American citizens participating in anti-ICE demonstrations to leave their firearms at home, while reiterating how guns are still welcome and encouraged in schools across the country.
No, I definitely think the disinformation from my government is disinformation. I also don’t think satire is misinformation - but I do think that people mistaking satire for true news creates misinformation in the minds of those mistaken people. I mean, they quite literally believe in information that is not true. If that’s not being misinformed, what is?
I’m not even blaming the satire agency, I think satire is great. It’s not The Beaverton’s fault that this was posted somewhere where people would take it seriously. Its the fault of the OP, and the fault of the commenters for not reading the article or fact-checking things. But that doesn’t change the fact that anyone who thinks this is real news is by definition misinformed, and the presence of this post in the context of this community is by definition creating misinformation.
I don’t even know why you assumed I don’t think the government disinformation is disinformation?
