The media, with NO moral compass at all, only serves the interests of money which controls it. As a result, almost all that it produces is designed only to deceive and rob. Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

"narrowing them down to three: “disinformation, slander, and defamation"

Slander and defamation are the same thing.

He under-defines disinformation. In a grand sort of way, it is an art form, comprised of false information of several kinds, corruption of truthful information, condemnation of those who want to spread the truth, fabrication of ludicrous comparisons with the truth. And of course, mixing and matching the above.

When done properly, disinformation shuts down the conversation, leaving people to want to ignore the subject and move on, hopelessly fatigued of the topic, and unable to separate the truth from the falsehoods.

Importantly, there are many experts in the field of disinformation, who approach it almost as a science. Yet again, properly applied, it is an art form. In practice, even when you know it is disinformation, it still works to some degree. And persuading others just leads to being labeled “a kook”.

Call it what it is:

Bearing false witness.

Straight to hell with all of them.

I wish he has been a victim of disinformation, but there seems to be far too much smoke there.
