Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uh oh. She used a cold war NATO technique called "lying" (A NATO word meaning disinformation) to decieve the bbc!

[–] huf@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

hey now! lying is a strong accusation. this was merely the creative use of counterfactuals.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

It's disinformatskaya if you do it on behalf of Moscow. This is just disinformation.

When the deboonker becomes the boonker

A boonker must boonk

Semi-relevant, I saw someone with a Voice of America sticker on their car today and did a double-take. Didn't get a look at the driver, but I'm so curious about who could be so enthusiastic about US state propaganda that they needed the world to know

A boonker is never alone.

Her job is ensuring the BBC's capability in spreading disinformation and countering anyone that attempts to correct or prevent their disinformation.

Having a CV full of disinformation is extremely fitting for the role.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

if you arent lying on your cv you should be shrug-outta-hecks

oh no my poor little billion dollar corporation

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

In a response also seen by The New European, Ms Antelava responded: “Telling me you are a brilliant reporter who exercises integrity and honesty when you have literally demonstrated the opposite was a terrible idea … I am sure if you use this as a lesson, things will work out.”

But oh no, people on Twitter are calling for her job, 5 years after the fact.

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Inb4 this results in a promotion

[–] D61@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

So... nobody who could have fact checked her CV at the time actually took the time to fact check her CV? prigo-pog

Whodathunkit?
