Talk:Disinformation (company)

message: Regarding Bigplans' timely point about the point of view, language, and organization of this article, I have overhauled it using template:corp to bring it up closer to Wiki standards.
There is little about this company out there to use as objective 3rd-party sourcing and still questioning the notability criteria has been met. This article especially needs  cites and external quotes about the assertions in this article and about its activities (not just footnotes from other articles)Elizabeth BY (talk) 16:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article fails to mention the Disinfo.com - CIA connection.
In fact Disinfo.com received funding to the tune of 4 million dollars and actively promotes CIA moles such as Robert Anton Wilson and white supremacist Howard Bloom.
: Actually, that exact info is embedded within this article but you have to put on your infrared, sonar bat spectacles (found anywhere on eBay) to see it.  I apologize for this necessary inconvenience. Cowicide (talk) 16:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  STUB & CIA Connection 

message: Are you sure?, nothing in the history is longer than the current version. 
Also, re: CIA, if anything, that seems like a CIA tactic to recoop something that they dont have any control over in the first place. Exactly like that meme that got out there about LSD being manufactured by the CIA so it could break the minds of subversives, which we all know to be far from the actual situation.
: Sometimes, to discredit someone, the CIA will let that individual be "exposed" as "CIA". Of course, a good way to hide your CIA membership is to be "exposed" as "CIA". - It doesn't stick. (talk) 01:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is there no criticism section in this article, no mentions of its support for 9/11 and New World Order conspiracy junk being one of the things that ticks me off about them. All they seem to do is blame the "establishment" for every problem in the world and chirp the viewpoints of other "non-conformists" yet ignore there own ties with the "establishment" like a Hottopic of media.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.74.67 (talk) 20:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This edit looked suspiciously close to vandalism. Pinging . I'm sure I'm misunderstanding the user's intentions so he can explain why the list was removed here. Curro2 (talk) 23:10, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I should have gotten back to the article sooner, or at least here, but obviously I'm not a vandal. Why the list of books and films at all? What encyclopedic purpose does it serve? You might make an argument that listing those with linked articles is appropriate, but even then I'm confused as to why Rethink Afghanistan, produced by Brave New Films, belongs in the list (note the film's article doesn't mention this company). The films and the books were added by an IP and given that the first film I clicked on was wrong the lists are questionable. Doug Weller talk 12:46, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
