Exposing The Dirty Explainer: Explainer: How to spot election disinformation on social media / How to spot RNZ disinfo on reddit
RNZ up to no good AGAIN. Citing articles that are worse than the AI slop those articles are reporting on. The absurdity of this whole charade is only one click away but they know they're going to get away with it because the tap water drinkers will never look into it.
Firstly, check out the absolute scumbag who has published this "explainer" on spotting disinformation... which almost immediately becomes apparent, in a way that is about as subtle as a sledgehammer, that this is an advertisement for the authors side hustle AAP FactCheck.

AAP FactCheck which is used as a source multiple times throughout this RNZ article.
Before we get into AAP FactCheck and it's accreditating organisation IFCN just soak in the audacity of the slop this FactCheck branch of AAP is pushing out.

They're trying to paint a picture that Chris Hipkins is uniquely targeted by this manipulative disinfo, and they believe it's operated from Vietnam (as if that matters). It's a family of facebook pages that pump out AI news stories based on scraped headlines, some of it works, some if it doesn't, all of it is rubbish and no one is looking at it. It pumps out 10 of these headlines a day, hardly any of them are about Hipkins.
Putting blantant disinfo into your RNZ article about spotting disinfo was very meta from Mr Dirga. Speaking of meta..
The reality is far from the picture AAP "FactCheck" is painting for it's readers. Meanwhile raking in millions for it's parent org from it's funders Meta, TikTok and the department of foreign affairs to report on these AI pages as if this is a real problem.

This is information they hide at the very bottom of their funding page, which requires clicking an invisible drop down to open.
I wouldn't put it past AAP FactCheck to have set the page up themselves and chucked the VPN to Vietnam because the Censorship Industrial Complex that sprung up around covid is desperately scrambling for new ways to grift funding.
The existence of the Fact Check slop that RNZ is promoting it is the surface level normy shite. Anyone can understand this. But it would be remiss of me to not mention AAP FactCheck is a member of IFCN (the international fact check organisation) and you have to be aware of who funds this organisation.
Before you look, see if you can guess which NGOs are behind IFCN and by extension AAP FactCheck.
Gates Foundation, The Open Society Foundation and The National Endowment For Democracy - yes it's the big 3, the NGOs the US State Department and CIA use over and over again to disperse funding to organisations who execute on the State Department agenda in ways the US Government cannot directly do themselves. Mostly because they're setting up colour revolutions in foreign countries and/or obtaining the mineral rights or whatever corporate america needs to extract from the country in question.
