Misinformation and disinformation was NOT part of the public lexicon BEFORE covid.
What does that tell you?
Discussion
It’s a form of psyop of course.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
- George Orwell, 1984
It seems like the idea of "disinformation" as a matter of public concern began to be seeded with the whole Trump "fake news" Russian disinfo thing , but it never really stuck until covid .
I don’t know If You’re familiar with Yuri Bezmenov. If not, take a look at this

Going to look into this thanks man.
Yeah it was good info or bad info. But then it was just male or female, too. 🤣🤣🤣💜
Imagine somebody coming up to you BEFORE covid and saying "hey man , we really need to do something about all of this disinformation , what do you think " , you would do a double take like , you would have to ask for clarification about what they actually meant , but now every mother fucker is just like "yes , disinformation is a threat to our democracy" or whatever the fuck .
It still is male or female man , sorry that is biology . People can get upset , whatever.
It’s ”The Science” you know.
The science that stipulates that a woman can be a man now, and a man a woman. It’s science.
And CO2 is a dangerous trace gas that is THE CONTROL KNOB of the temperature in the atmosphere. Just the science.
All dissenting opinions are disinformation and disinformation.
And don’t forget ”malinformation”: the information that seems correct but is not politically correct!
Didn't trump make fake news a thing way before COVID?
And disinformation/misinformation become a news talking point with the whole Russia influenced the trump elections conspiracy?
Yeah your right, it began to be seeded into the public consciousness around then , but nobody used the exact words "disinformation" and "misinformation" as part of their day to day speech.
My thesis is that the messaging around covid normalised it as part of everyday conversation.
Everyone was saying "fake news" with a Trump voice , it was being normalised , but as a joke.
Now I hear old ladies waiting for the bus using the words "disinformation" and it is extremely bizarre and dystopian and you never would have heard it before the covid messaging.
I would be interested to know if "disinformation" is a part of everyday discourse in Africa like it is now in the west .
The African population is too young for news/conventional media to drive the conversation.
Theses media teams don't know what the kids are even talking about no more.
