    What about when nearly the exact same thing happened and they reported it was baseless?

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/idf-confirms-killing-al-jazeera-journalist-says-he-was-hamas-operative-2024-08-01/

    Or when one of their staff was killed by Russia, but they couldn’t confirm ukranian statements that it was a Russian missile so they reported the ukranian statement and made it clear that the could not confirm if it was Russia or if it was deliberate?

    I’m incredulous that Reuters should be categorized as Israeli propaganda because one headline, clarified shortly after publication, is accurate but lacking an explicit source.
    That’s why getting your news from a screen shot of a screenshot of Twitter isn’t a good idea. A new source can correct or clarify a headline, but the screenshot is forever.

    Also, Israel isn’t in NATO. I’m not sure if you meant that as another caveat but it sounded like you were saying they were.
    Should I dismiss your comment as misinformation because it appears you implied that Israel was in NATO?

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What’s the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
