Disinformation : former spy chief reveals secret strategies for undermining freedom, attacking religion, and promoting terrorism / by Pacepa, Ion Mihai,1928-2021.(CARDINAL)764163; Rychlak, Ronald J.(CARDINAL)392065;
Readers will discover answers to many crucial questions of the modern era: Why, during the last two generations, has so much of the Western world turned against its founding faith, Christianity? Why have radical Islam, jihad and terrorism burst aflame after a long period of apparent quiescence? Why is naked Marxism increasingly manifesting in America and its NATO allies? What really happened to Russia after the Berlin Wall came down? Like the solution to a giant jigsaw puzzle lacking one crucial piece, Disinformation authoritatively provides the missing dimension that makes the chaos of the modern world finally understandable. By its very nature, a disinformation campaign can work only if the seemingly independent Western press accepts intentionally fabricated lies and presents them to the public as truth. Thus, Pacepa and Rychlak also document how the U.S. "mainstream media's" enduring sympathy for all things liberal-left has made it vulnerable to--indeed, the prime carrier of--civilization-transforming campaigns of lying, defamation and historical revisionism that turn reality on its head.

On disinformation : how to fight for truth and protect democracy / by McIntyre, Lee C.,author.(CARDINAL)355433;
"The effort to destroy facts and make America ungovernable didn't come out of nowhere. It is the culmination of seventy years of strategic denialism. In On Disinformation, Lee McIntyre shows how the war on facts began, and how ordinary citizens can fight back against the scourge of disinformation that is now threatening the very fabric of our society. Drawing on his twenty years of experience as a scholar of science denial, McIntyre explains how autocrats wield disinformation to manipulate a populace and deny obvious realities, why the best way to combat disinformation is to disrupt its spread, and most importantly, how we can win the war on truth."--Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-159) and index.Disinformation and democracy -- The history of strategic denialism -- The creators -- The amplifiers -- The believers -- How to win the war on truth.

Misguided : where misinformation starts, how it spreads, and what to do about it / by Facciani, Matthew,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- The Scope and Consequences of Misinformation -- How Our Identities Can Make Us Vulnerable to Believing Misinformation -- Political Identities, The Response to COVID-19, and How to Have Productive Conversations -- How Social Networks and Social Media Spread Misinformation -- The Spread of Vaccine Misinformation and How We Can Rebuild Trust in Institutions -- How Education, Media Literacy, and Prebunking Can Help Combat Misinformation -- The Future of Misinformation."For as long as there has been written text, there has been misinformation. Our contemporary interconnected society allows for misinformation to spread rapidly and cause individual and social problems. In Misguided, Matthew Facciani analyzes how and why false information is dangerous, including how misinformation fuels violence against minority groups, exacerbated the COVID pandemic, and how it contributed to the attempted insurrection in January 2021. While it is common to engage the problem of misinformation through broad social issues like polarized politics or individual psychological factors like confirmation bias, Misguided focuses attention on the interaction of the individual and the social and how they reinforce one another. Addressing just one he argues is insufficient. At the micro level he shows how identities create motivation to maintain consistency between the information we encounter and our values. At the meso level he shows the role that interpersonal networks play in the spread of misinformation. At the macro level, he discusses the various incentives in the news media, social media, and politics that support misinformation. He concludes with recommendations at each of the three levels for how we as individuals and a society can combat misinformation"-- Provided by publisher.

Recognizing media bias and disinformation / by Roland, James,author.(CARDINAL)343816;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What is news -- Biased language and spin -- Disinformation -- Fight back with the truth"It can be hard to know what to believe, especially when what looks or sounds like a legitimate news story is tainted with bias and opinion or is riddled with flat-out lies and disinformation. Media bias and disinformation are two different things, but they often share the same purpose: to manipulate how members of the public think and act rather than allow people to make up their own minds based solely on the facts"--Ages 14-19
