the whole problem is knowingly spreading false info to vulnerable people

MUSK is a far right conservative, racist, and a fascism supporter.

Trump repeats many election lies in interview with podcaster Rogan.  Facts are Trump lost 2020 election.  Judges repeatedly ruled against Trump on the merits of lawsuits.  Trump supporters lost over 60 lawsuits.  Almost every state uses paper ballots.  Republicans and democrats encourage mail voting during the pandemic.  2020 election was free of significant fraud.

Obama told voters not to be fooled by covid stimulus checks with Trump name printed on them.  Democrats fought for pandemic relief that republicans opposed.  But Trump has a history of trying to take credit for the efforts of other people.  Normally, government checks don't have any president's name.

All part of the CONVICTED FELON's plan to inject doubts into his very gullible, willfully ignorant base so that if he loses he can scream "ELECTION FRAUD!" once again

actually its gonna get even worse now

@KellyM_1964

How so?

@thirdperson

FACT!

New York -

[Conspiracy theorist & MAGA-moron] Alex Jones,
has sued a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee
and the families of some of the Sandy Hook victims
in an attempt to stop the sale of his media empire
Infowars to the satirical news outlet The Onion.

Sad MAGA-fool

Rudy Giuliani turns over his 1980 Mercedes-Benz convertible, luxury watch collection and a diamond ring to women he defamed by pushing Trump lies

Fact checker Politifact reveals top lie of 2024 is Trump's claim of immigrants eating pets.  Meanwhile watchdog Media matters calls anti-media intimidation the misinformer of the year.

Perhaps Trump managed to convince himself that they really were eating the dogs and cats in Springfield. Or perhaps he thought to himself: “Plant the emotional image, that’s all you need for the faithful……..Attractive fiction to MAGA voter by a TV snake oil salesman most of the Republicans in office are just riding his wave…What go’s up will come down!

ya   he pushed that LIE more than most

rump is and always will b an asshole

I think that about says it all about the racist/convicted felon/sex-offender

Big Guy 10%er will always be known as a pedophile who showered with his young daughter.

Disturbing that Meta has abandoned fact checking because of Trump threats.    Claiming to avoid censorship is a political move to avoid taking responsibility for hate and disinformation.  Problem is most fake news come from social media.  X is one of the top sources of misinformation on the internet.  However in Europe where freedom of the press is strongest, Meta continues fact checking.

no one needs useless liberal "Fact-checkers" , who never had real job in their sad lives 

i would argue Musk and Zuckerberg know more about this issue than you 

  One week ago today,

A terrorist attack in New Orleans 

where immediately,

far-right conservative, very low-integrity FOX news,  plus trump & his crime family and other ignorant bigots & dumbass Xenophobes in MAGA media and lawmakers, demonized immigrants as "terrorists" and blamed President Biden and all Democrats for the terrorist attack which horrifically left at least 14 dead and dozens others injured.

                 "It's all Biden and the Democrats fault!"

But it all began with sensationalized *FALSE* reporting from FOX NEWS.

The trumps push another LIE

Brian Stelter -

During the 10 a.m. hour on Jan 01,

Fox reported that the New Orleans suspect’s truck crossed the US border in Eagle Pass, Texas “two days ago.”

Some of the right-wing network’s coverage explicitly said
      “the suspect” drove across the border,
leaving viewers with the [wrong] impression that
a foreigner is responsible for the deadly carnage.

Only 8 minutes after the first false Fox segment that mentioned the border, Trump issued an ANGRY statement about “criminals coming in” from other countries.

    “Biden’s parting gift to America — migrant terrorists!,”
     Donald Trump Jr. wrote, sharing the false Fox claim on X.

   “Shut the border down!!!!!” racist/Xenophobe, republican
    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene screamed in outrage!

  But in fact, the New Orleans attack suspect -
who later died in an exchange of gunfire with police -
was a US citizen and Army veteran from Texas!

In a case of ignorant, mouth-dropping irony...

Brian Stelter continues -

Trump’s original statement used the New Orleans attack
to claim that he was right and the “Fake News Media”
was wrong about the threat posed by illegal immigration.

Problem is online radicalization influencing individuals to become domestic terrorists.  On the internet, they are exposed to extremist beliefs that inspire hate and violence.  Known ways to combat radicalization include content removal, account suspension, anonymity reduction, education and counter narrative campaigns to debunk misinformation.  Australia has become the first country in the world to ban social media for teens.

Right wing media spreads false conspiracy theories about Los Angeles fire while ignoring the role of extreme weather conditions.  1 Fire started by energy weapon, government or the homeless. 2 Firefighting undermined by diversity, equity and inclusion policies.  3 Fire hydrants deliberately disabled to prevent firefighting.  4 Governor Newsom refused to release water to protect fish ecosystem.  5 Lack of controlled burns to reduce fuel supply.  Nowadays every natural disaster seems to be politicized.

so the Democratic Mayor , Governor Newsom and all the other Democrats in charge haven't done nothing wrong ? 

asking as a citizen of Los Angeles 

@thirdperson

 its ok to loot ? our Mayor even cannot say the word ...

 FYI you can loot / steal here and it is a misdemeanor if it doesn't exceed $950 , thx Democrats 

Conspiracy theories appeal to people who want simple answers to complex problems.  Governor Newsom has ordered an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to hydrants.  According to water department, unusual fire overwhelmed system not designed to fight fires at hundreds of buildings.  High demand for water reduced high water pressure needed for hydrants to work in hilly areas.  Also fire damage undermined firefighting.  Winds spread fires and prevent air support from firefighting helicopters.  NOAA reports that climate change has been a key driver in increasing the risk of wildfires in the US.
