Spotting mis/disinformation.

Mis/dis information 

The proliferation of misinformation and disinformation has emerged as a significant threat to our democratic processes and informed decision-making of the electorate.
We make important decisions based on what we hear on social media and in the news.  When we are unable to distinguish between truth and mis/disinformation, it can cause confusion and misunderstandings, leaving a generalized sense that “you can’t believe anything anymore.” 
Mis/disinformation ultimately undermines trust in legitimate information sources, increases polarization in our society, and leads to misinformed decisions.
The League of Women Voters of Illinois has put together a page to help us understand this threat. Go to www.lwvil.org/misdis-info.
