Why is #Trump getting away with lying about #HurricaneHelena relief in #NorthCarolina?
Right now @emptywheel is live 5ET talking about Today Gov. Roy Cooper said what Trump said "This is a flat out lie"
@nicolesandler & Marcy cover the impact on polling & voting of #Hurricane #Helene & #Milton.
Also, #ElonMusk's lying about #HunterBiden's laptop & what is NOT censorship & what IS disinformation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4QZSgAuHk0

"This is a flat out lie"
#NorthCarolina Governor #RoyCooper on Trump's lies about #HurricaneHelena aid.
Posted on 10-11-2024

"This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC "

Chris Hayes asks, "What do we do when disinformation costs lives?"
#HurricaneMilton #HurricaneHelena
Right now, it depends on who it comes from & how it is delivered.

Right now it's legal, but morally repugnant to KNOWINGLY spread disinformation.
We can't count on norms for good behavior from #Trump or #ElonMusk
WE, as a society, CAN make laws to prevent it & punish those who don't stop doing it to act as a deterrent.
How do we make deadly disinformation illegal on social media @TimKarr?

As we see #HurricaneHelena barrel into Florida I'm wondering how many people are thinking "Thank God Ron DeSantis is the Governor!"?
How a Gov handles a crisis like this is a big deal. Will DeSantis try to avoid being seen with Biden? Harris?
The media will want to get Donald Trump's opinion on the disaster & on DeSantis handling of aftermath.
Trump will want to make DeSantis look good, & #Harris #Biden look bad. TFG will lie about how his admin handled Hurricanes & he will not be fact checkered

My RWNJ relative calls it "the supposed climate crisis" #HurricaneHelena
