*** begin quote ***
Misinformation, i.e., wrong claims innocently made
disinformation, i.e., wrong claims willfully made
*** and ***
dismisinfoganda is the politicized spreading or squelching of claims without, or counter to, adequate empirical evidence.
*** and ***
Therein lies the true cost of runaway dismisinfoganda. Many Americans once believed government officials unless/until they had good reason to doubt them but increasingly they disbelieve officials unless/until they have reason to believe them. Maybe that is a good thing as it will eventually induce Americans to ask why they continue to pay the salaries of people they cannot implicitly trust to do their respective jobs.

Remember EPA Christie Whitman: “Ground Zero Air Is Safe”?
NOTHING any politician and | or bureaucrat says can be taken for fact at face value. Ditto for “news media” or “celebrities”!
Argh!
