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 b******t?”* “How to have a career as a journalist in 2022”Consider subscribing to the newsletter!Back next week with the full gang!
