What if you were a paid actor who was commissioned to dispense lies on social media?

Disinformation, as it called, or propaganda, is a tool some governments have used in history and probably still today, in parts of the globe, would indeed use actors who are fully capable of being anything you wanted them to be to influence the attitudes of the sheeples of the world, the peoples, those who believe the lies. How much of real news or fake news do you actually believe in the first place? So, given that we are faced with a multitude of articles on all forms of social media, there are often opportunities to put a spin on the facts and mis-inform people so as to create confusion, disparity, and ultimately, chaos in the doomoshpere, otherwise known as the world of doom and gloom. There are so few websites out there I can fully and with 100% certainty fully believe. The number one place online I believe that has the facts in check is supposedly the one that also has the fakes. Google, followed in second place with YouTube. They both have links to real news but also zillions of fake news posts. Facebook is trying to become more trusted and more true and less like a politically directed or motivated place as things get sorted out and walls have been taken down and new rules of proper conduct are worked out to insure a more positive and harmonious state of social media for all people no matter where they come from, what their status in life is or whatever they may find important and significant in their lives. It is impossible to avoid misinformation. But taking steps to get to the truth requires careful searching, and I may say, that books at the library and at university libraries and book stores are scrutinized for truth and accuracy before they hit the shelves. That is a good place to start to find information that is factual to be informed about things rather than just clicking your mouse or touching your screen with a stylus to be connected with a random website that may or may not be 100% legit. Fake sites are being taken down as fast as new ones take their place. For every legitimate writing site, cloned versions pop up taking the content of the original site and creating a fake site just so they can ride piggy back on them. It is a real rabbit hole for sure and we all need to find our way back to the surface and see the light before we get stuck in one of those dead ends.
