What Disinformation? | Power Line

What Disinformation? | Power Line

"Sweden has established a new Psychological Defence Agency to combat potential Russian disinformation, the London Times reports. The agency hasn’t actually spotted any Russian disinformation yet, the article says, but it knows where to look...The important thing, apparently, is that the Russians not mention what everyone knows.

But this is what really interested me. The quote is from Henrik Landerholm, the head of the new Psychological Defence Agency:

“Good disinformation is actually not false. Good disinformation is basically true and only somewhat tweaked. Getting people to accept facts that are not true is so much more difficult than just tweaking well-known and existing facts,” he said.

That explains a lot! Most of what liberals have labeled “disinformation” here in the U.S. has turned out to be true..."
