The fact that prominent media outlets such as The Atlantic and CNN are enlisting Obama’s help, without a hint of irony but with a straight face, evinces everything that is wrong with the news industry.
Obama appeared last week at The Atlantic’s conference on "Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy." Sounds pretty serious. While speaking about the dangers and harm of disinformation campaigns, Obama defined it as "a systematic effort to either promote false information, to suppress true information, for the purpose of political gain, financial gain, enhancing power, suppressing others, targeting those you don't like."
That’s a pretty good definition. It's also a rare moment of self-reflection from the former president.
Obama also got the fluff treatment on this topic from CNN's Donie O'Sullivan, a reporter who spends most of his days wandering around Trump rallies with a microphone searching out those with kooky beliefs. It's a practice not new to CNN. Sullivan states how "Eric Schultz, an Obama adviser, said the former President views disinformation as a 'through line for all of the challenges we face right now,' including the pandemic, climate change and racial injustice. And for Obama, Schultz added, the 'arc of this issue also tracks the arc of his public life'

Cant’. Stop. Laughing........ Obxxx is, if nothing, an X-spurt in mis/dis/mal-information. They’re going for the best. Liar that is.
“You can keep your doctor...”
Bump
ODUNGA’S HAWAIIAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS DISINFORMATION!
talk about calling the kettle black. . . . .
You can ad his Syria red line and a host of other disinformation.....his hypocrasy is stunning. Perhaps he’s trying to sound like Trump has in saying all along the media lies.
I prefer saying Jounalism has become militant and certainly unprofessional these days. If they aren’t targeting people they’re targeting each other.

Obama’s always done that - just like the rest of the left....endlessly.
He’s running a shadow government.
That’s the first place I’d run for truth. /s
The Left thinks the people will swallow whatever they are
slinging.
I think that is rapidly coming to an end.
Even Blacks are starting to que in on what is going on.
Not meaning that as a putdown, but let’s face it, they’ve
been the most loyal of party line supporters.
They are now beginning to see the Left for who they are.
Some of their Conservatives are a joy to listen to.
ROTFL. Maybe he could start by telling us where HE was really born.
This is like having foreigners and Marxist college “perfesers” as fart checkers online. LOL.
Exactly Right - He is. However Biden and Kamala are dropping the ball so often I suppose they think bringing him out of the back office in public view will appease the left....
I hink if he remains unseen as he has that just feeds the story he’s running things...so this is PR to quell some of that.
Right on! And he is causing the chaos required to move to a communist form of government. Lame brain Biden is not anywhere near as dangerous to the Constitution as ObamBam
Projection, no surprise.
Will Hussein enlighten us by spilling the beans on Fast & Furious?
Disinformation is his stock in trade.
Is he acting in his Kenyan or Indonesian incarnation?
