Disinformation
is completely different from misinformation. Disinformation is knowing the
facts but taking it out of context. It is usually found on the internet especially
on social media. In the news article Issue Brief: Distinguishing Disinformation from Propaganda, Misinformation, And “Fake News”, I found that Political campaigns
use disinformation by applying “falsehoods and emotional appeals not to persuade or
attract but to disrupt, divide, confuse, or otherwise damage target audiences”.
In reading this article, I learned
that political parties say things that might not necessarily be true and to not
trust the first thing that I hear or see. I believe that political parties
use these tactics all the time to fool viewers. This may cause voters to vote
another way then they original were going to. [1 Images, 2 Links, 1 Quotations, and 127 Words]
