I use the word "grift" to describe self-proclaimed "experts" who refuse to retract and issue corrections, despite being laughably wrong. This base motive is especially pronounced when said "experts" are men being corrected by women who are actual experts.

Referring to Dave misreading the NYT yesterday and assuming Dr. Donovan does not know that disinformation is Actually very old and something something Koch Brothers? 🤷🏻♀️
Per the screenshot he tweeted, she traces the **modern** practice of disinformation (not all disinformation).

Also referring to this lovely interaction with the recently suspended Mr. Stewartson where he tweeted a ridiculous claim from a ridiculous blog and was corrected by @abbieasr and myself and not only refused to retract but blocked me.

He literally called Donovan's expertise "misinformation about disinformation" and the rest of what he implied in his ridiculous thread was very clear, including floating a conspiracy theory about grants that happened 5 years before TASC existed "perhaps" being "a factor"
Bye 👋
Bye 👋
Oh there was also his insanely viral thread about Parler being a Russian plot or some nonsense and @chick_in_kiev corrected him and he doubled down. I can't find the original viral tweet now b/c I blocked him and am logging off but it was ridiculous. 🙄
