CBS “Non-Partisan Election Expert” David Becker: Elon Musk andDonald Trump are spreading "Election Disinformation"
State-run media goes into full election-influencing operative mode here — attacking their political adversaries under the guise of presenting “non-partisan” election information.
BECKER: “We're seeing more election disinformation for sure. It's coming from, Donald Trump. It's coming from Elon Musk. It's coming from we know, foreign adversaries like Russia and Iran and North Korea and China."
“So when you see information on social media in particular, that triggers something within you that seems to make you angry about the other side. All of us as sophisticated media consumers, should pause and and say, what is? Maybe that anger is the product they're trying to create. Maybe they're getting paid or they're benefiting from creating that anger in us."
Becker is a leftwing operative posing as a non-partisan election expert — and is regularly platformed by many state-media outlets to attack their political opponents.
