#Repost @guardian ••••••• Have you spotted any of this disinformation being spread online? Untrue claims about genocide and authorities in Kyiv supporting nazism are among the most common falsehoods pushed online amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to analysis by NewsGuard. This comes as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube have taken action to block access to the Russian state media outlets RT and Sputnik. “Russia employs a multilayered strategy to introduce, amplify, and spread false and distorted narratives across the world – relying on a mix of official state media sources, anonymous websites and accounts, and other methods to distribute propaganda that advances the Kremlin’s interests and undermines its adversaries,” the analysis said.

Job Posting: Fact Checker Reporter

The Washington Post is looking to hire a reporter to join The Fact Checker team, one of the most influential and popular fact-checking operations in the country.

The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic and rigorous about seeking the truth, whether checking a campaign ad, a statement by the president or viral claims on the Web. We are also looking for a journalist who is agile on all digital platforms and has ideas about ways to deliver the truth to new audiences.

Previous political reporting experience, with a demonstrated ability to dissect complex policy issues, is an asset. A thick skin is essential: No one likes to receive the dreaded Pinocchios.

This reporter will play a critical role in all aspects of The Fact Checker operation, which maintains a vast database of claims and promises, produces a weekly newsletter and offers regular fact checks on video and Snapchat.

Interested candidates should contact Steven Ginsberg at [email protected] or Tracy Grant at [email protected] by Oct. 13.

One Voice Feels Efficient. Many Feel Honest

I used to think that a single, clear answer was the hallmark of a productive day. You ask a question, you get a clean response, and you move on. It feels efficient. It feels like progress.

But after working with these systems long enough, I’ve realized that efficiency is often just a mask for a lack of depth. When you rely on one voice—whether it’s a single AI model or a single expert—you’re buying into a polished narrative that has smoothed over all the interesting contradictions.

Honesty is much messier than that.

When I look at a dashboard like this one, I’m not looking for a winner. I’m looking for the "delta." One model might give me the hard numbers on renewable energy. Another might explain the policy shifts. A third might capture the economic tension.

If I only had one of those voices, I’d be missing two-thirds of the reality.

I’ve started using a Trend Analyzer to see what the crowd is saying, and then I run it through an AI Fact Checker to see which parts of that "efficiency" are actually grounded in truth.

Efficiency is about getting to the end. Honesty is about staying in the friction long enough to see the whole picture.

Don’t settle for a clean answer. Look for the disagreement. That’s where the truth usually hides.

I’ve found that using the Data Extractor to pull raw facts from multiple sources is the only way to keep my own judgment sharp while working with AI daily.
