Conspiracy theories and disinformation have sewn controversy, and even violence, at all levels of government in recent months. Experts say growing disenchantment with the political process can breed more political violence — and insurrection.

Wow you are realizing it just now? I've been saying this since the election: it's the responsibility of the election officials and the media to assure ALL AMERICANS (even the crazy ones!) that the results were legit, and do it IN A GENUINE and NON-DISMISSIVE manner.

If the media/journalists would not give so much coverage & continue feeding air to Trumpism, a lot of this would die off like a cult or addict cut off from its leader or drug.

Police and military should have zero tolerance for it among their ranks. AND they should crush the insurrectionists at every turn

***... in recent decades. Probably recent centuries or millennia

Journalists and news anchors traditionally have been the ones to hold a mirror up to lies and cut through the rhetoric. But now we have mainstream media such as Fox News that instead repeats and even starts the lies. Then they say don't trust anyone else. This is a huge problem.

A bunch of us white people seeing a future of lost power and privilege and thinking the only way is back, and knowing only one way to get there. A bunch of us white people look forward to a diverse and shared, progressive future, hoping the others don't drag us down.

Duh... DC has been broken for a long time. The conspiracy is that it’s functional and represents the people.

lies are about keeping control.. exposeHATE4PROFIT time to DefundFASCISTS BANKRUPTtheTRUMPS and ALL who support them. Accountability is key in 2021!!

Now do the conspiracy theories that you cover incessantly: that we are as racist and otherwise discriminatory and “phobic“ as your woke scold collective says we are.

Indeed, we were in the grip of a conspiracy theory for nearly two years, the one which claimed that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Clinton, until it was finally debunked my Mueller. Yet, some people still believe it...

Another example of Trump and his cult making America Great Again

Country has a stupid and gullible white guy problem.

trump's insurrection on 1/6 effectively declared open season on our government. The fact that the GOP sanctioned and participated in this is beyond belief.

How about, corruption has called down a response?

The media creates a lot of the BS so people will become outraged, click and comment.

😂😂😂😂

Yuri Bezmenov warned us of this type of thing back in the 80s.

What do you expect when most of the people on the planet believe in some form of religion? Religion conditions people to abandon critical thinking and accept that for which no evidence exists.

I’ve had enough of these anti-vax, Covid busters, conspiracy theorists shit. I’m tired, all the Republicans I know are somewhere on that ledge, either a little or a lot. Many of the leftists I know have their foot on the ledge. I keep having to correct them. Like I said, tired.

History is cyclical, mostly due to humanity’s inability to learn from it.

Stop writing this like both sides are doing it! A blind person could see that the republicans are the only ones spreading deadly lies every minute of every day.

Blame a democrat and their media outlets for promoting one lie or conspiracy after the next. There is zero truth left in either democrats or their media gangs. Every lie and conspiracy has been debunked and yet they have no shame or remorse.

It is not 'disinformation' that fuels violence, so much as official attempts to silence opposing viewpoints, which is much more dangerous. If you don't believe there was fraud in the 2020 election, by all means, say so. State your case plainly. Who is stopping you?

stefanyshaheen Glad you’re catching up, . Where ya been for the last 4 years? I guess Koch and Kaspersky money has a way of focusing your coverage on human interest stories...😉

Who’s really spreading the QAnon conspiracies...

Lest we forget, nations have stood by while their leaders systemically erased entire populations from their midst. This should not be surprising.

Good. Politicians and bureaucrats are too often unaccountable for their crimes

I find it amazing NPR can seriously run stories like this after pushing an out right lie regarding the Russia conspiracy and straight up wouldn’t report the Hunter Biden news. This outlet has more responsibility for feeding disenfranchisement than most other “news” orgs.

And less access to news. It's very easy to be entirely out of the loop and just believe all the lies Fox News tells you.

Sewn?

Well when there's ZERO accountability to people in positions of power as they actively work to undermine our entire democratic process - ya, I have a hard time believing in the system.

The Trump cult is slowly losing their power. The nonstop lies have been exposed. They’ll be done soon enough.

Republicans once stood tall. Once. Today's GOP? Nut jobs. No doubt about it. The insanity is in panaramic focus. Crystal clear bonkers. Hard to believe.

Conspiracy? Most of this stuff is true you just have fact checkers labeling the information false!

We hate and demonize anyone that tells us how we should treat black people; and anyone who allows black people to feel safe.
