Interesting interview with ex President Obama on disinformation from Ukraine to domestic policy.

Quote:

---

When they last sat down for an interview, in November 2020, Barack Obama told Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg that disinformation is "the single biggest threat to our democracy." The threat was not a new one, he said, but it was accelerating. It has continued to accelerate since. A month and a half after that conversation, a violent mob stormed the Capitol, driven by the false belief that the election had been stolen from Donald Trump and could be taken back by force. Over the past year, COVID conspiracism has likely cost thousands of lives. Russia has mounted a massive disinformation campaign to justify its invasion of Ukraine.

The disinformation comes from the Democratic Party and their media and bureaucratic allies.

That the Republicans are largely in on it, too, is one of the most infuriating reasons they won't call it out.

Dismantle the corruption!

Obvious trollbait is obvious.

Obama is the biggest purveyor of disinformation in America. Guess he's the self-hating type.

Obama is THE problem in this country right now. He won't stop until he tears it apart. Biden is his senile hand puppet.

How is Obama the problem? I would argue he is one of the greatest Presidents of our lifetime. Reagan/Clinton/Obama.

He really brought everyone together. A real unifier.

Troll. Fly away

Obama….. the greatest race baiter to ever sit in the Oval Office. That clown inherited a country that had made enormous progress in regards to race relations. A mere 8 years later and it was if we had regressed to the late 60s/early 70s. And it continues to get worse. And he continues to race bait. His tweet about the Uvalde massacre that was used as a way to mention George Floyd is a clear example of this.

To put Clinton/Obama together with Reagan is a great insult to Reagan.

You need to up your meds.

Providing a rebuttal to your narrative is not disinformation. When your narratives, policies, beliefs do not hold up to intellectual scrutiny or common sense you are the problem.

Obama was a product of disinformation...lol

"if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"

No that gas is so high, I check my tire inflation- best advice he ever gave America.

Are you talking about his beer summit that united us all and is still bearing fruit today. Maybe the red line he enforced that our adversaries dared not pass over.

Maybe we should look at obamacare, I know we are all happy about the astronomical increases in healthcare costs brought about by that wonderfully brilliant piece of legislation that was so good it didn't have to be read to pass.

Wait was it the pallets of cash delivered to our enemy Iran at the expense of our ally Israel?

Perhaps I should stop now, though I could go on and on, and let you inform us why you think obama was a great president.

He weaponized the various beaurocracies against his political opponents. The FBI and CIA went into 2008 as respectable entities. By the time he left, the CIA had a branch office in Perkins Coie running endless 702s on political opponents, and the IRS was targeting conservative charities. This was his biggest sin: unfettered abuse of power.

Obama started the military purge and promotion of sycophants. He weakened the country and its people.

You don't spell value as t-h-r-e-a-t.

They believe their own ideological bull**** first and foremost. They must be right is the starting presumption and they rationalize their way from there. Results, consequences, and outcomes are ignored if negative, presumed to be lack of effort or outside interference instead of fundamental flaws in the concepts themselves. They are arrogant and smug almost beyond belief. This makes them truly sociopathic in function even if they aren't clinically psychopathic as individuals. That is what ideological possession effectively does.

Well you would certainly lose that argument.

Y'all are giving this clown too much attention. Just flag and move on.

Because most of these Trolls are fermenting discord on the accepted side of the political spectrum.

Clicks = $$$$ in the social media world. Without the trolls F16 would have 1/10 or less of the activity that it does. If I owned the website I'd pay people to troll and give them fake premium accounts and easy access to new usernames to drive up clicks and interactions.

Placing George Floyd on a pedestal during Uvalde tragedy is ALL that needs to be seen.

George Floyd could have been one of his son's if Oblamea was 20 years older and Mike was a woman.

You have ZERO self awareness. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed. It's sad that so many Americans are so brainwashed by DNC propaganda that they don't even recognize that the Democrats control 95%+ of the information out there and all is it is disinformation. Wow!

Obama had one slightly negative news network Fox and his solution after getting elected was to remove them entirely from the press pool.

He used the alphabets to go after reporters who didn't agree.

This guy created the Chicom media we have now.
