One of my favorite things to do is pass my speech into it and have it rewrite with fog index “#”. Really helps with speaking to varied audiences about the same topic.

You realize he fed in to that information distortion, right? <—you are here

Which is why the clip is perfect for you. You’re pissed at dude that did his job because you believed misinformation. Misinformation your feeding to others right here on lemmy. But it gets better.

Notice how Hank specifically mentions isn’t the fault of NOAA because much like Fauci, the information they gave was correct.

I’m summary: Peoole that make up and spread bs = problem. People that make factuality correct statements = not the problem.

Not really seeing why this is difficult. If I cut up and paste your replies to say whatever I want them to say using your own words, any reasonable person would look and say, yep Bananigans is the problem here. But for some unknowable reason you’d apparently blame yourself.

You see information distortion, you refuse to disagree that he failed to do a good job.

Because your only example of him doing a bad job is regurgitated misinformation, which is the whole point of all of my replies. I think you’ll be more convincing if you try me again with less alternative facts.

I just remembered a pertinent video clip related to information distortion from a few days ago and dug it up if you’re interested.

Hank Green Clip

All you can eat I guess.

In a March 8, 2020, interview, Fauci stated that “right now in the United States, people [who are not infected] should not be walking around with masks”, but “if you want to do it, that’s fine”. In the same interview, Fauci said that buying masks “could lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need” them: “When you think masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them”

Yikes. Apparently he did gaslight people in the time between stating his position and then explaining it.

What really happened was bad actors circulated edited clips of this video, out of context, around Facebook and other social media sites. Lots of folks, apparently you included, ate it up and have been happy customers at the propaganda buffet ever since.

Your understanding of gaslighting isn’t quite right.

Comprehension of the underlying reasons for a particular set of events or advice isn’t really a conspiracy nut’s bread and butter. That’s why they’re idiots and professionals aren’t to blame. Keeping the healer alive is a pretty basic strategy and Fauci was right to do it.
