It is election season in the UK and there is no escaping fears of disinformation
Greetings from Coda’s London branch, where I am Managing Editor. In this week’s Disinfo Matters: elections and fears of disinformation in Brexit Britain.
Here in Britain, there is no escaping politics these days. On Saturday morning, I joined a large group of north Londoners for a weekly parkrun.
After reaching the finish line, we bumped into a well-known TV pundit who was out for a walk. He was surrounded by a group of men and women asking him to predict the result of next month’s elections.
It goes without saying that TV pundits don’t always make for accurate clairvoyants.
