NPR's Eric Deggans says to expect the amount of disinformation in our media ecosystem to explode

Remember that morning when you found out Twitter wouldn’t let you share that New York Post scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop? That was a pretty big deal, but Twitter didn’t want to be used to spread “disinformation.” And then more than 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter saying that the disclosure of the emails on that laptop so close to the election “had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” NPR even went so far as to release a statement explaining why it would NOT be covering the laptop:

That aged well. We don’t think the Post will encounter a similar suppression effort under a Twitter owned by Elon Musk, but NPR TV critic Eric Deggans (why does NPR have a TV critic?) says to expect an explosion of misinformation and disinformation in our media ecosystem. NPR is part of that media ecosystem, right? Will it do as good a job now as it did then on deciding what stories were a “waste of time” and “pure distractions”?

It’s just a link to the New York Times’ coverage of the purchase; the explosion of misinformation angle is all Deggans’.

“Sigh.” Life is tough for NPR’s TV critic.
