The only motive one could have to lie this badly is if they wanted their target to look bad by spreading it. I would say that the left has a worse problem with fake news than the right does. But to the extent that fake news is a problem on the right, 90% of it is discred ops. This is why I think we should not only call out disinfo, but when it happens we should ask the OP where they got it from and start tracing it back as far as we can, to see who is engaging in discred ops and how they are successfully leaking it in. We shouldn't assume the worst in an OP. People get fooled. Disinfo wouldn't be dangerous if that weren't true. But we have to trace it back. Discred ops and disinfo ops just cost us a presidency, considering the whole Qanon situation and how they interrupted the most important meeting there was for demonstrating voter fraud. Considering we have almost nothing left to lose, the only thing discred ops and disinfo ops can cost us now is our race so that would be the next domino if we fail to trace this.
