The Truth Brigade is people (us!) fighting disinformation by sharing the truth. We have learned that arguing with people on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or anywhere else doesn’t work. When we comment or answer postings that contain misinformation, we unfortunately just boost the original post, so more people see the lies. Instead, we are creating our own truthful posts to counter the hurtful lies that are out there. We do that by creating “truth sandwiches” – a true statement that reflects our values followed by a response that questions the author’s motives. This is followed by another true statement sharing our vision. We have found that people respond best to positive statements, so a truth sandwich can be a great way to get the truth out there and discredit lies.
