2. Disinformation

Disinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is an act of deception and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.

Unlike traditional propaganda techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).

Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can affect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with many easily disproved false

My comment about a "minor correction" was not directed at you. It was amazement at how there was no factual standard for the original article!

You did good!

The information and the title - both spreading across the internet, as you documented - are both untrue. It is extremely annoying.

I'm just more astounded at the misinformation and BS slipping around DU now as "fact" and "journalism"!

Campaign cash of Sanders growing, despite elimination [View all]

https://whipboard.co/2016/06/campaign-cash-sanders-growing-despite-mathematical-elimination/

Despite Hillary Clinton winning the outright nomination on June 7, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) refuses to back down. According to CNN, Sanders pledges to fight on to the convention. Sander’s supporters have also made it clear that they will continue to give money to his campaign.

In fact, according to recent Federal Election Commission data, the Sanders campaign raised an additional $17 million throughout June, despite being mathematically eliminated. Of the over $229 million Sanders has now raised in total, 99.98 percent has come from donations, which is greater than what presidential candidates Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ohio Governor John Kasich raised.

Sanders has no debt that he needs to settle, and has spent approximately $219.9 million with a surplus of $9 million remaining, which he will most likely spend before he drops out of the campaign.

Campaign cash of Sanders growing, despite elimination

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported May fundraising as June.

Despite Hillary Clinton winning the nomination on June 7, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) refuses to back down. According to CNN, Sanders pledges to fight on to the convention. Sander’s supporters have also made it clear that they will continue to give money to his campaign – and the campaign continues to ask for it.

The Sanders campaign raised nearly $46 million in March, but only $16.4 million in May.

Of the over $229 million Sanders has now raised in total, 99.98 percent has come from donations, which is greater than what presidential candidates Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ohio Governor John Kasich raised.

As of May 31, Sanders had no debt that he needs to settle, and has spent approximately $219.9 million with a surplus of $9 million remaining, which he may spend before he drops out of the campaign.

She fancies herself a blogger, but how many actually her read stuff? I'm not going to give her any attention.
