Rampant Disinformation

Generally when the media calls out disinformation they mean to say that someone is saying something they disagree with, after all if you disagree with the mainstream media you are wrong. This time though there is a lot of real disinformation that is spreading like wildfire all over the internet and some of it is even making it into media channels. 

One story that went viral was the story about Marines being ordered to defend the last McDonald’s in Kabul. This story was spread everywhere but was proven to be a hoax quickly, there are no McDonald’s locations in Afghanistan. 

While that one story was proven to be a hoax, there are many other stories that are ultimately unverifiable but are still being shared as if they were matter of fact.
