📰 White House hall of shame targets news outlets — #APNews

#convictedFelon #sexOffender #DonaldTrump has set up a list of "#fakeNews" media outlets on the #WhiteHouse website. However, the list actually contains only the most ACCURATE and BEST outlets and reporters.

It's basically a list of all the news everybody SHOULD follow. Thanks for the suggestions, #dozyDonnie!

White House hall of shame targets news outlets

President Donald Trump's White House has established a hall of shame for journalists it finds guilty of media bias as it looks for new avenues of attack against legacy news outlets. And it's calling on “everyday Americans” to participate with their own examples of where they consider journalists to be unfair. The Republican president has been criticizing “fake news” since his first term. Some of Trump's attacks have turned personal in the past month. Yet despite it all, the news outlet Axios pointed out this week that mainstream news sources are as dominant as ever in setting the agenda for Washington and — somewhat ironically — capturing the president's attention.

@eddiebbot 2/2 But, given our present political conditions under which every office seeker must cater to the vote of the masses, the only means by which the born leader can lead is the expert use of propaganda. --Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928) #EconomicHappinessMachine #uniparty #fakenews #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

In the future every photograph and every video will have to be signed with two keys: one from the author and one from the camera manufacturer. Thanks to cancelled trains that future won’t be that far off. #fakenews

Holy smoke, climate denying trolls are making fake pictures showing a huge mess left behind by the Rising Tide blockade on Newcastle’s Horseshoe Beach. Here’s the original pic vs the fake, which has apparently spread widely on social media. #auspol #AI #fakenews #risingtide
@Cloudslave
@psychopoesie have you seen this?
@Cloudslave @feather1952 yeah, popped up in comments on most of the local FB pages. So infuriating.
@feather1952 @Cloudslave RT volunteers made sure the camp and beach was left better than it was to start with. And it was kept super clean during the event too! Volunteers did such an amazing job.
@psychopoesie @Cloudslave
You would never know - bloody typical of those climate deniers. Can’t even be honest!
@feather1952 yeah, they are swarming the comments sections, full of crap. @Cloudslave
@psychopoesie @feather1952 @Cloudslave I was walking there last night with my son - we watched the bushfire sunset, sitting on the breakwall looking over Horseshoe beach. It's a pretty beach and in the 20 plus years I've lived here, has never looked like the fabricated image showing garbage all over the beach.
@feather1952 @Cloudslave @CaringKinderSociety yeah. It was pretty messy earlier but with debris from rainfall and flooding upriver - lots of wood - but not that kind of garbage. Still, many locals seem determined to believe it.
@Cloudslave hang on, it looks to me like the top is the original photo and the bottom is cleaned up by AI, given the mangled shapes in the bottom.
To be clear, I don't try to defend climate change deniers or people trying to paint the movement in bad light. I wouldn't be surprised by such practices from these ghouls. I just want to make sure we don't continue spreading misinformation.

@stragu @Cloudslave

That's my assessment as well.

@stragu @Cloudslave I think you are wrong, the "clean" photo is the original, taken from an article about dog beaches from five years ago. The "dirty" photo is an altered version. See earlier reply by @isol, linking to the original photo.
@AvonVilla @Cloudslave @isol ok, now I see the original clean photo from https://newywithkids.com.au/dog-friendly-kid-friendly-spots-newcastle-region/ but why on earth would someone create the above montage and make it _not_ credible by using AI to remove fake garbage, that's wild. The image at the bottom is clearly doctored.

@AvonVilla @stragu @Cloudslave @isol A five year-old photo, because if you are making disinformation, what difference does it make?

Unfollowing and blocking people spreading stuff like that is now part of basic social media hygiene and should probably be taught in schools (except Aus has decided to try and outlaw it for kids instead, so I guess they'll have to learn the hard way.)

@ghouston If a bad actor bases their fake picture on a five year-old photo, the original photo can be used as evidence to debunk the disinformation and set the record straight.
Then why the hell is @Cloudslave@aus.social using a horribly bad photoshopped fake image as the example of the "clean" beach, when they could have used the crisp pristine original image? Who thought making that was a good idea? Here's what it should look like. And yes the fat cats are faking photos to attack protestors again, thankfully obvious when you don't screw up and make your evidence look even faker than the fake.

@Cloudslave I think they both look like AI generated images. Look at the dog in the bottom pic 🙈

@Cloudslave

The photo is at least 5 years old!

Scroll down to the Horseshoe Beach section, and note the URL for the image.

@Cloudslave omfg! i always say, you can 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 trust #cancervatives

they are a cancer on humanity & the planet

the #ACO (Anarcho-Capitalist Oligarchs) would burn the planet to the ground if they thought they could profit from the ashes

this angers me so much. not just bc they do it, but be the braindead rubes will believe it. they'd claim the bottom photo is the fake bc cancervatives are morons led by psychopaths

@dyckron

Unfortunately the opposite is true. This account is spreading #disinformation

If you look carefully at the top and bottom images you can see that the figures, people and animals, and vehicles and realistic and distinct in the top image. While in the bottom image they are distorted and disfigured. The latter being clear indication of crude AI manipulation.
