Don’t accept it… understand it and fight against it… Who Is Responsible: 1. Trump What He Did: Promoted “fake news” rhetoric, discredited media. Result: Eroded trust in mainstream media among conservatives 2. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube What They Did: Allowed disinformation and conspiracy theories to spread unchecked. Result: Amplified false information, deepened echo chambers. 3. Russian Disinformation (Internet Research Agency) What They Did: Spread false stories and stoked division in the U.S. Result: Undermined trust in American institutions and elections. 4. Fox News, Breitbart, MSNBC What They Did: Promoted partisan, sensational news catering to specific ideologies. Result: Increased polarization, fewer shared facts. 5. Alex Jones & QAnon What They Did: Pushed extreme conspiracy theories. Result: Fostered distrust in government and media, fueled fringe movements.
