Promulgating disinformation
- Using disinformation
Context
Disinformation arises whenever the process of information is defective. This can happen because of: a) a lack of objectivity, as in the case of propaganda; b) a lack of completeness, as in a case of damnatio memoriae; c) a lack of pluralism, as in the case of censorship. Each type can be combined with the other two in more complex and efficient forms of disinformation.
Claim
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false" (William J. Casey, CIA Director, 1981).
Counter-claim
The wider the plurality of information, the smaller the risks of disinformation.
