James Ball, CNN; Russia is better at propaganda than we are
"It's a playbook NATO is so aware of that it's produced a handbook setting out the Russian model -- "dismiss, distort, distract, dismay" -- in detail.
It's
a playbook that prospers by using the tools of a democracy -- open
disagreement, tolerance of fringe groups and crucially mainstream and
social media -- against us. And there is so far no sign that its
efficacy is diminishing.
Simply
put, Russia is better at misinformation than its opponents. It
understands better how information -- good or bad -- is spread. Everyone
else needs to get better at dealing with it."
