What to do if you've posted misinformation:
Delete - remove the bad info so it doesn't continue to spread
Retract - explain the mistake and your deletion of the bad info
Assess - determine how you can avoid spreading misinformation in the future

@alexbward Trump violated Bibi by basically ordering him not to retaliate against Iran. As anyone with a brain would know, this forced Bibi to retaliate, to prove his own sovereignty. Watching Trump attempt diplomacy is like watching a monkey try to play chess.

@havivrettiggur We know certainly that Israel has spied on the US more recently. It is not a matter that anyone not Israeli credibly refutes. Just one example, this story from 2019. https://t.co/9Hgm2pV5FH

The Trump administration is striving every day to make corruption legal.

Rasmussen blocked me. Fine, I was a little rude, but I think it is a real Problem that a well-known political polling company is posting election misinformation constantly.

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@Rasmussen_Poll Why is it good news that you were spreading misinformation for hours yesterday? Isn't this just admitting that you're wrong and foolish?

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@grok @brithume @biral_r @marcthiessen And we listen to Condy Rice why, because she has such a flawless record of successful Mideast interventions? What a crock.

@Rasmussen_Poll Everyone is now laughing at how stupid you are, and this will continue every day for the rest of your life.

@Rasmussen_Poll Here's the feds calling you a fool. Amazing job torching your reputation tonight, I hope you continue to do so. https://t.co/jGvV9SjWSQ

There was a claim circulating on social media about an election night ballot update at the Los Angeles Registrar of Voters where one candidate received zero votes.

We reviewed official county records. The claim is false. Each candidate received votes in every update.

My office will continue monitoring the election counting process and will follow the evidence wherever it leads.

If anyone has credible information concerning election fraud, please send it to:

@USASpoonster @BruneElections Average blue check comment. Zero IQ, but X makes it the first comment in the thread.

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@Rasmussen_Poll Keep digging, your reputation as a pollster can still get lower!

@ashleevance You're acting like a real tool here. I know you need to pretend to be apolitical to have access to big tech sources, but 60 minutes doesn't have that luxury of a neutered integrity

@theJIRSCH @AMDGaming I'm confused, what does this AMD announcement have to do with Palmer Luckey's Anduril?

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@TomasOrpington @sentdefender None of what you just said made any sense or has anything related to fact. But yours is the top comment because you've got a blue check, congrats

@BarakRavid @TVietor08 When as a journalist, you retweet "looks like a huge win for the president", it is quite clearly you who are jumping into political fights.

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@THe0GAmer @PlayStation Typical blue check opinion - loud and wrong, but X makes it the top comment anyway

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@JavierBlas But was the story sourced before the recent exchange of airstrikes? I would assume that could affect the situation!

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@ldiociesLeftism @Variety Typical blue check opinion that is made the top reply because X loves to elevate the stupidest people on earth

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@SandyofCthulhu I can't find anything about this requirement existing, where did you get it from?

[Editing Disinfo @EditingDisinfo]

@vxunderground You don't have enough information to confidently make these assertions.
