As the child separation crisis continues, a new narrative has emerged to undermine public outrage over the admin's family separation activity. Last night, Gateway Pundit published a story claiming that many of the pictures/stories were faked/misrepresented. 1/

This narrative is being amplified and was echoed by the President earlier this morning. This thread provides examples of fresh propaganda content supporting the narrative on @facebook / @twitter – disinfo messaging has become the norm, shapping the debate in a post truth world2/

Via the Gateway Pundit story, much of the content revolves around the recent @TIME magazine cover 3/

We are beginning to see rank and file conservatives pick up this theme in there messaging, accusing opponents of family separation of being dramatic and embellishing the hardships of these detention centers. This is how information warfare can alter a larger conversation. 6/

What is missing is any meaningful confrontation for disinformation and counter-messaging. This information technique will allow base supporters to rationalize/disregard the realities of recent events surrounding family separation. Social media is the vehicle for rapid reach. fin
