Good luck, shill.

Deny, degrade, disrupt, deceive, or destroy, amirite?

Disinformation is false information spread deliberately to deceive. This is a subset of misinformation, which also may be unintentional.

The English word disinformation is a loan translation of the Russian dezinformatsiya, derived from the title of a KGB black propaganda department. Joseph Stalin coined the term, giving it a French-sounding name to claim it had a Western origin. Russian use began with a "special disinformation office" in 1923. Disinformation was defined in Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1952) as "false information with the intention to deceive public opinion". Operation INFEKTION was a Soviet disinformation campaign to influence opinion that the U.S. invented AIDS. The U.S. did not actively counter disinformation until 1980, when a fake document reported that the U.S. supported apartheid.

The word disinformation did not appear in English dictionaries until the late-1980s. English use increased in 1986, after revelations that the Reagan Administration engaged in disinformation against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. By 1990, it was pervasive in U.S. politics; and by 2001 referred generally to lying and propaganda. In 2019, a national media figure, Chuck Todd, openly acknowledged that media had been manipulated by disinformation from the Trump administration, but a journalism project associated with New York University, PressThink, asserted that professional negligence was the root cause of the disinformation not having been addressed adequately.

What else is there to fight for?!?!?

Have you seen our women?
