The next chapter “the amplifiers” was extremely enlightening, I’d prefer less reference to January 6th insurrection and Russian propaganda (while I know they’re both relevant and worth mentioning) and more general examples outside of the politics (although that’s where disinformation is most relevant) this chapter deep dives into news media from both sides and the role social media plays in misinformation.

I’m not expert on political agendas by any means, This book does lean heavily against trump and Russia (understandably so) but I wish there was more focus on other examples in the us. The amplifiers chapter is a huge take away so far on medias grip and control over the masses and does a very good job of calling out news outlets from both sides of the isle and offering ways to “reinvent” ways to fix media.

This book so far has been pretty simple to understand, it dives into what a truth killer is and what it entails as well as the history and start of denialism referencing Tobacco CEOs and how denialism works and looks in action. The book heavily references and leans on examples via Putin and russias involvement and use use of denialism as well as trump and the MAGA movement. Very informational so far and will update.
