Study shows ‘striking’ number who believe news misinforms
NEW YORK (AP) — Half of Americans in a recent survey indicated they believe national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public to adopt a particular point of view through their reporting.
The purpose of disinformation efforts — information warfare, if you will (and yes, that's a thing) — is to create an environment in which people don't know what to believe. Confusion, not persuasion, is the goal.
Is it working?
