      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 …

      It's no longer age of information scarcity. Censorship works by info glut, distraction, confusion and stealing political focus & attention.

      While there is a sterile (and IMO short-sighted) debate on which email tidbit is "newsworthy", we're missing the huge disinformation wave.

      Constant pattern on Wikileaks & Trump Twitter. Take emails SENT TO Podesta as indication of Clinton campaign stance. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/790223130048466945 …

      Actually, I've even seen Washington Post do this, can't keep up really. I only encounter so many because I follow Trump Twitter for work.

      It looks like leak/whistleblowing but in its actual effects, this has been a disinformation campaign.http://www.npr.org/2016/10/22/498954190/wikileaks-dump-method-destroys-privacy-sociologist-says-not-all-leaked-pass-publ …

      I will eventually write this longer, but a disinformation campaign like this can't hold Clinton campaign/presidency accountable.

          This will just create political paralysis, and mark my words, actual dissident politics will be the biggest victims of this sleazy method.

          It's so widely misreported & spread in false ways that it is, in effects, disinformation.

          can anything hold the Clinton machine accountable? It's a disinfo system now, everything is used as a prop.
