Hey journos:

Stop saying "does not support that claim."

Start saying "they lied in contradiction with the facts."

Stop giving folks the benefit of the doubt on intent. If they took actions that hurt other people, assume intent. Make them prove otherwise. Don't do their propaganda work for them.

@valthonis Seriously, by now their intent is crystal clear: they're lying to cover up crimes. CONSTANTLY. IT'S LITERALLY ALL THEY DO.

@JediSoth If they put their effort into serving folks' needs to even half the degree they put into tearing it all down, they'd be the most popular administration in history.

what *would* be a better change is to start with presenting the contrary facts first, *then* quote what the regime is trying to get you to believe, rather than the opposite order which tends to poison the well because first worlders are still habitually presuming government officials are acting in good faith

but literally

anyone

can accuse anyone of lying and ill intent

and drown out the wolf sightings with what is indistinguishable from AI wolf slop

@apophis so it’s like, the article would start with the ‘facts’ like “someone pushed a man into the river” and then it would say “the government is saying ‘a man has fallen into the river in Lego City’”?
