Talk Back to Me

Just like a bad toupee, we can fool ourselves into thinking that we are good at detecting disinformation. But like propaganda, a good piece of fake hair is difficult to detect. If taken to extremes, our attempts at discerning truth from manipulations can either lead to blissful ignorance, or monomania. 

While Disinformation is a dirty word in the realm of politics, it has a more specific meaning in the Intelligence Community. While pundits and politicians toss it around as a buzzword desperate for recognition, for working professionals, Disinformation is a form of covert action where false information is deliberately injected into a target community to produce a desired result. 

But even adherence to a specific definition doesn't protect one from falling to the Toupee fallacy. So here we go.
