1. A short explanation of why Big Media entities float outrageous BS into public consumption.
Remember the "animals" uproar?
Remember the "animals" uproar?
2. That was perfect example of this tactic and, in that case, a huge chunk of the mainstream media and the Twitter Blue Check Mark Mafia pretended that President Trump referred to illegal immigrants as animals, when he was actually referring to the demonic gang MS-13.
3. Here's the intended effect of the tactic: even after the truth comes out, there will still be a significant segment of the public who believes the falsehood.
And there will be nothing you can do to show them that they are wrong.

4. That's the beauty of Big Media outrageous BS flotation. Call it weaponization of disinformation.
5. I noticed this pattern long ago and now, with instant communication, it happens so much, I don't usually bother to comment on it. But a lot of honest people are shocked that information purveyors do this. Honest people expect others to be honest.
6. But after the last dozen or so KNOWN Big Media hoaxes, the expectation of honesty from any of them is naive at best and stupid at worst.
7. Big Media's intent: to gain converts to the "correct" POV. In this case, the "correct" one is that the US has abandoned the Kurds, as if the latter were a singular national entity. (They are not.)
8. The "Turkish attack video" -- in reality, video of range practice at Kentucky -- served its purpose. The correct POV got a few more converts.
9. We should always be ready for the next flotation. And there will be a next one, maybe even today.
