To clarify sequence of events as I understand: JDV's original tweet was based on a now-discredited Facebook post. Campaign desperately digs through police reports for retroactive justification. Finds this cat story (which is not what set off the initial frenzy.) Then this story is also discredited.

Trump and Vance are not spreading racist lies about Haitians because they want to help the long term residents of Springfield. They are fomenting racism because they think it will help them win www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump’s and Vance’s statements reveal a belief that it would be better to leave dying towns in the Midwest to wither away than revive them and have to share that prosperity with people who are Black, and they seem to be betting that enough American voters in enough swing states agree that it would be better to be broke than integrated. In exchange for these fearful votes, a second Trump administration would proceed to shower tax cuts on the wealthy, raise them on everyone else, slash regulations on big business, and further undermine unions, while towns like Springfield would be left to tumble further into decline.

JD: "The media really need to get off their asses and report what's happening in Springfield. [Media get off asses and report what's happening in Springfield.] JD: "Why is the media so obsessed with this story?"

Participatory disinformation. Elites set the frames. Audiences create content to fit those frames. Influencers selectively amplify content to reinforce the frames, and help move content from audiences back up to elites.

What's wild to me is how quickly the spin of "sanewashing" went away once JD Vance admitted out right they know what they are doing Even wilder is how not a single discourse has sprouted up of how doe media adjust their coverage now they KNOW GOP is playing them at the expense of Black people

And the media has no morals, so essentially, they don’t care. Let’s look at the W Vance got, because even if it’s true or not, he’s already identified and targeted a certain sector of society for the right wing to attack. Innocent ppl who may get hurt.
