People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen.

    It’s a great timeline … 99% of the planet relies on megalomaniac morons, mega corporations, billionaires and for profit media corporations for all their information.

    And we wonder why there is so much misinformation, disinformation, non information and covered up information everywhere.

    It’s definitely the information age … expect no one said it would actually keep us informed or have any benefit to humanity.

        A 100 years ago you got your morning paper that can give you a set of tainted views, because you had no chance to independently check, what is going on on the other side of the world. Now you got Fox news and others shoving down the propaganda narrative with a different set of “experts” 24/7.

      Oh no, it’s DEFINITELY the informarion age. The truth is out there.

      There’s just no money to be made with hard work and actual journalism.
