News:Politics
Joseph Bernstein is a senior reporter for BuzzFeed News. He joins SH!TPOST this week to discuss the overly simplistic story of online disinformation that many American audiences have been sold. Joe encourages those interested in understanding online disinformation to pause and recognize several fundamental issues with the way some of our current conversations have been framed. These flaws, he argues, are not an end-all to the study of disinformation; rather, he hopes that addressing them will produce better work that contributes to stronger public knowledge.
