Instead, few seem to be able to take their eyes of the candy falling from the piñata, to see the buzzsaw coming this way. ::sigh::

Also people who believe such mass hacks challenge power. Nope. They confuse most people, which is fatal to dissent.. https://twitter.com/_Drew_McCoy_/status/786994678008688640 …

By the way, the Pentagon Papers was the opposite of this. It revealed what public had unquestionable right to know and in a focused way.

This so much of what's going viral from the Podesta hack. Enormous dust.https://twitter.com/poniewozik/status/787371266143641600 …

Like this. Provides no link (not that anyone reads). It's an email TO Podesta, but passed as Clinton campaign. AND actual email is sensible.pic.twitter.com/0eOKbaKQSr

Or this. Again, it's from an email TO Podesta. Again passed off as Clinton/Podesta. FWIW it's from an African-American baseball player.pic.twitter.com/3rJIdNW5Yg

No shortage of this. While we focus on—IMO poorly-handled—traditional media response to hacked emails, huge dust kicked up on social media.

Again, this is a form of misinformation. Social media amplification is huge, and almost all misleading AFAICT.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/786990927567024131 …

do you ever just feel like giving into the misinformation and accepting that nobody really cares about truth?

True, but what we have is new ways of disinformation that bypass the (not that great but also not this insanity) gatekeepers.
