The various social media platforms are spaces for people to have open, honest conversations, even if they’re idiots, or maliciously minded, or willing to lie. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We always call upon social media platforms to limit as much hate and extremist rhetoric on their platforms as possible. Confusion and legitimate questions are harder to police. I mean, what’s the first thing I did when I wanted to know what was going on after the assassination attempt? I went on social media. That’s very natural. I understand why people want to ask questions and throw theories out there. I don’t know that the public generally understands how damaging that is when it’s coming from millions and millions of people all at once, from influencers to the average user.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is all the more reason for the user to be responsible. By that, I mean don’t reshare every new theory you see. Make sure that something is actually credible before you reshare it. Maybe you don’t share anything at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Over the weekend, people started coming to me with questions because I’m a reporter. My first reaction was — really my honest reaction — was just, “I don’t know. We don’t know yet.” \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But these days, we can all do what many of the major papers were doing, which is, you know, review the video and listen to people who are experts in Secret Service-style protection of political candidates and attempt to come up with a working theory. You’re not a bad person for trying to parse out what’s happening.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But also, maybe you need to just question yourself if your go-to, gut reaction is that there must be some way in which this incident fits into that \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unified%20field%20theory\">\u003cstrong>unified field theory\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> of politics you have. In other words, question yourself. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds conspiratorial to use the phrase “Question everything.” But what I mean is, have a healthy amount of suspicion when the first thing you see is the most salacious thing. Right? The “power of pause” cannot be overstated. Normalize saying, “I don’t know.” But also, have patience because, with a case as serious as this, we’re going to have to understand that the [gunman’s] motive may never be clear. It’s just too early to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are we likely to see one or more conspiracy theories metastasize before the election? Precisely because we’re in a contested election?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sports, they say, “There’s a lot of game left.” I would use that analogy here. There’s a lot that could change between now and November. Journalists will have their work cut out for them this coming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is a motive or an ideology [that explains] the shooter, that could also change everything. If there is no information about the shooter, then you can kind of tell whatever story you want to tell about who he was. Which is also dangerous. So, the ask is always for more answers, and the hope is always for a clear conclusion. But the expectation is that it might be somewhere in the middle and that the false and misleading narratives will pick up on whatever that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all shocking, earth-shattering things are the product of a conspiracy.

The various social media platforms are spaces for people to have open, honest conversations, even if they’re idiots, or maliciously minded, or willing to lie. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We always call upon social media platforms to limit as much hate and extremist rhetoric on their platforms as possible. Confusion and legitimate questions are harder to police. I mean, what’s the first thing I did when I wanted to know what was going on after the assassination attempt? I went on social media. That’s very natural. I understand why people want to ask questions and throw theories out there. I don’t know that the public generally understands how damaging that is when it’s coming from millions and millions of people all at once, from influencers to the average user.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is all the more reason for the user to be responsible. By that, I mean don’t reshare every new theory you see. Make sure that something is actually credible before you reshare it. Maybe you don’t share anything at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Over the weekend, people started coming to me with questions because I’m a reporter. My first reaction was — really my honest reaction — was just, “I don’t know. We don’t know yet.” \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But these days, we can all do what many of the major papers were doing, which is, you know, review the video and listen to people who are experts in Secret Service-style protection of political candidates and attempt to come up with a working theory. You’re not a bad person for trying to parse out what’s happening.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But also, maybe you need to just question yourself if your go-to, gut reaction is that there must be some way in which this incident fits into that \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unified%20field%20theory\">\u003cstrong>unified field theory\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> of politics you have. In other words, question yourself. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds conspiratorial to use the phrase “Question everything.” But what I mean is, have a healthy amount of suspicion when the first thing you see is the most salacious thing. Right? The “power of pause” cannot be overstated. Normalize saying, “I don’t know.” But also, have patience because, with a case as serious as this, we’re going to have to understand that the [gunman’s] motive may never be clear. It’s just too early to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are we likely to see one or more conspiracy theories metastasize before the election? Precisely because we’re in a contested election?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sports, they say, “There’s a lot of game left.” I would use that analogy here. There’s a lot that could change between now and November. Journalists will have their work cut out for them this coming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is a motive or an ideology [that explains] the shooter, that could also change everything. If there is no information about the shooter, then you can kind of tell whatever story you want to tell about who he was. Which is also dangerous. So, the ask is always for more answers, and the hope is always for a clear conclusion. But the expectation is that it might be somewhere in the middle and that the false and misleading narratives will pick up on whatever that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all shocking, earth-shattering things are the product of a conspiracy. This is just … history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11996066/why-conspiracy-theories-spread-on-the-left-and-right-after-the-assassination-attempt-on-trump","authors":["251"],"categories":["news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_1323","news_34019","news_3428","news_353"],"featImg":"news_11996124","label":"news"},"news_11995771":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11995771","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11995771","score":null,"sort":[1721163077000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"heres-who-funded-the-controversial-recount-for-congress-in-silicon-valley","title":"Here's Who Funded the Controversial Recount for Congress in Silicon Valley","publishDate":1721163077,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Here’s Who Funded the Controversial Recount for Congress in Silicon Valley | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>A high-profile recount \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11984495/evan-low-takes-second-place-in-silicon-valley-congressional-race-after-recount-breaks-historic-tie\">that broke a tie in a Silicon Valley congressional election\u003c/a> was paid for by allies of former San José Mayor Sam Liccardo, according to new fundraising reports made public late Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo will face Assemblymember Evan Low in a head-to-head general election matchup after the recount broke \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11981809/in-extraordinary-tie-evan-low-and-joe-simitian-both-advance-in-race-for-silicon-valley-house-seat\">a deadlock for second place\u003c/a> in the primary between Low and Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recount organizers have denied any collaboration with Liccardo, stating they initiated the new count to ensure a proper tally and prevent a three-candidate general election in which only a plurality of votes would be needed to win the seat.

The adversaries then work through low-level attacks to escalate their ability to get closer and closer to critical parts of a business. And then, once they’re there, they’ll deploy malware, which locks down a system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a type of attack that locks down critical parts of a business. And what attackers were really trying to do here is they’re trying to put pressure on the business to pay an extortion in order to restore services. Unfortunately, we’ve seen these types of attacks become more popular among criminals.
