Tim Hayward presents an excellent critique of Counter-Disinformation failures.
He believes Journalists and especially academics should take their responsibility towards due Epistemic Dilligence seriously (though he does not systematically define what that entails). That means seriously attempting to find out what the truth actually is.
Instead it appears like much Counter Disinformation is merely the repetition of slurs, such as Assad Apologist or Useful Idiot. Due epistemic dilligence is often replaced by referring to claims made by government officials or government websites.
