        The saying works for day to day random bullshit. Not when a cocksucker buys a media outlet specifically to spread lies.

      To that I’d say, “don’t attribute to ignorance what can easily be explained by greed”

        What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

      Ah yes, Hanlon’s razor. Genuinely a great one to keep in mind at all times, along with it’s corollary Clarke’s law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”

      But in this particular case I think we need the much less frequently cited version by Douglas Hubbard: “Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system.”

      adequately explained.

      The ignorance doesn’t explain where all the money comes from. So malice it is! Lol

        We’re talking about spreading misinformation, which by definition implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

      Don’t contribute to ignorance that which can be easily explained by malice and is much more likely to be malice due to their history of malice. The guy is King of bitter malice, the fuck are you saying
