DOGE Is Xitter Files for Government - emptywheel
Briefly

Jesse Watters from Fox News argues that the right utilizes asymmetric information warfare tactics compared to the left's outdated methods. He claims the right leverages social media and influential personalities to disseminate messages rapidly, in contrast to the left's traditional media approach. Despite his insights, Watters overlooks the prevalence of misinformation in the right's messaging, particularly through figures like Elon Musk. Experts highlight that this dynamic largely supports a propaganda narrative rather than a constructive dialogue, emphasizing the role of misinformation in shaping public perception and political discourse.
We are waging a 21st century information warfare campaign against the left... What you're seeing on the right is asymmetrical. It's like grassroots guerrilla warfare.
Only, Watters left several things out... The things Musk retweets are, almost without exception... false. Which means this massive guerrilla warfare feeds just propaganda.
Watters offered a perfectly timed explanation of the information warfare the right is conducting... his primary role is simply a propaganda one.
