TTSG disinformation campaign w/ Max Read

Hello!

This week just Jay and Andy and with guest Max Read. We talk about all things “disinformation.”

First up is Andy’s n+1 essay last week on the lab-leak Covid conspiracy, what it says about the world’s ideas about China, and the plausibility of conspiracies today. Then a wider discussion about whether the Ukraine invasion and competing claims of “disinformation” have presented a new crisis for media and the framework of fake news installed the last few years.

Jay’s got a few recent pieces on disinformation and media coverage of Ukraine.

And here is some of Max’s recent commentary on media:

• “Mapping the celebrity NFT complex”

• “Is web3 bullshit?”

• “How to have a career as a journalist in 2022”

Back next week with the full gang!
