Ffs man, she's worked for the CIA, and has beat the 'Russian disinformation'' drum ad nauseum. Get her in here to be scrutinized by Schellenberger...that'd be great. What makes you think she's doing anything other than obfuscating what's going on? She IS the problem.
You seem to have made up your mind, my comment was for Glenn who is more open and interested in opposing views. I want more people studying on disinformation not less, especially ISIS which is where she started, but also state-aligned actors like the former St. Petersburg based Internet Research Agency on which she is an expert. I use SIO materials in class, they are very useful, and consistent with the work of economists like Gentzkow and Shapiro. Disinformation in the social media age is a fascinating topic of genuine academic interest, and she knows more about this than most people. Would be a good guest to have. You can choose not to listen.
It's not a matter of BELIEVING...it's been shown unequivocally that DiResta et al are at the forefront of the bureacracy that is responsible for throttling information. Censoring. What makes u think she is NOT a peddler of false narrative? Cuz she's an academic? That's precisely the issue: the illegitimatacy of all this is couched as legitimate. It's not.
This is a completely useless exchange, people can read and listen (to Taibbi, Shellenberger, DiResta, Stanford amicus at SC, etc) and decide for themselves. Waste of time engaging with you on this, I regret it. Will stop.
Trying to defend her reputation among other things, and dealing with a lot of threats and harassment.

Why do think its a waste of time I wonder?
