Winning the Information War

Maybe the first step in fighting against disinformation is to stop calling it and thinking of it as an, &quot;Information War,&quot; as if it&#x27;s something with sides that&#x27;s meant to be won.<p>The news these days is all about &quot;fake news&quot; and how we need stop it, but none of those information outlets seem to acknowledge the bias and falsehood in their own reporting. That&#x27;s not to say there isn&#x27;t terrible misinformation on the internet, but all this media buzz regard it seems like an overreaction which could lead down a dangerous road of censorship itself. If the goal really is to advance the truth, then shouldn&#x27;t the best way of doing that be to focus on telling the truth rather than on silencing those not?<p>When ever I hear journalists saying we can stop misinformation by quashing all those other journalists telling lies, all I can think of is soldiers insisting we can reach world peace if only we could just kill all our &quot;war-mongering&quot; enemies.

If the commons of national agreement on truth, reality, and facts can be disrupted then democracy, as an effective tool of government, is largely over.<p><i>If there is one common thread in the Kremlin’s many narratives it is the use of conspiratorial discourse and a strategic use of disinformation to trash the information space, break trust, increase polarization and undermine the public space for democratic debate: This is a war on information rather than an “information war.”</i>

The article is so heavily handed in its one-sided condemnation of adversary nations, and the author refuses to look at the disinformation activities of his fatherland (besides saying it isn&#x27;t doing enough and needs to &quot;up its game&quot;).<p>Being candid about the abuse of information on all sides is a REQUIRED first step to discussing Information Warfare in a sensible way. Not doing it immediately introduces cherrypicking, and gives the impression to readership that there is one-sided activity that requires a one-sided response. This itself is disinformation.<p>I&#x27;m not sure we could expect anything else from a career propagandist (Peter Pomerantsev, the author) and think trying to start conceptualizing the propaganda war by reading in some serious way such particularly strategized output from a propagandist is a poor manner to start.

All of this Putin-phobia -- maybe justified -- is giving me a 1984 moment. He&#x27;s starting to take on an Emmanuel Goldstein aura in the US.<p>Disinformation exposes weaknesses in trust, it does not create them.<p>Keep in mind the phrase, &quot;Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you read&quot;, was popular before I was excreted from the bowels of the mid-20th century.<p>The term &quot;yellow journalism&quot; pre-dates the 20th century.<p>And while we can find some admirable examples where journalism discarded its proclaimed &quot;focus on facts&quot; to support a noble cause, and accelerate progress, a price had to be paid sometime down the road.<p>Because once you break trust on the facts, people will naturally question when you will break trust on intent.
