This is great. I once worked on a paper where I had to collect examples of social media that contained mis- and disinformation. It's not as straightforward as I first thought.
So this new piece from me talks about some election misinformation from 2022, making a point people who've read my stuff will be familiar with -- most misleading content isn't really about misleading "facts", but rather, about misleading *use* of evidence. mikecaulfield.substack.com/p/30000-regi...
30,000 registration mailers and the problem with the phrase "technically true"
It's not what the thing is, it's how you use it -- or misuse it.
