According to oxford dictionary disinformation means “False
information which is intended to mislead, especially propaganda issued by a
government organization to a rival power or the media”. I believe that not only
the news but people like terrorists for example would spread disinformation to
take every ones attention away from a much bigger problem that going on. This
strategy is called The Redirect Method. You can read more about it and get into
depth with who, how, why, and what and more specially ISIS use for it at https://redirectmethod.org/. What is
most surprising about this method is the extremes that they are willing to go
and how they can actually do that. They can easily make a fake video of a bomb
going off and then start messaging, tweeting, sharing, ect. to get the news to
focus on that major “bomb” but while all of that is going on, they could be
taking control of the government and no one would truly notice until the very
end when they realize that the bomb was fake but it will already be to late. [1 image, 1 link, 1 quotation, and 200 words]
