Here is another example of right wing misinformation and misuse of social media:
Rep. Paul Gosar shares fake image of Obama with Iranian president - CNNPolitics
A Republican congressman posted a fake photo of former President Barack Obama shaking hands with the Iranian president.
"The world is a better place without these guys in power," Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar said in his caption of the doctored photo.
The gullible and ignorant saw it, believed it, and agreed with it.
He was called out on posting fake information:
Democratic Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois called Gosar's post "irresponsible."
"The world would be a better place if elected officials didn't share photoshopped images and take pride in being ignorant," Casten said on
Twitter.
.......and here is his defense.
Gosar later defended himself, saying that it was not implied that the photo wasn't altered.
"To the dim witted reporters...no one said this wasn't photoshopped. No one said the president of Iran was dead. No one said Obama met with Rouhani in person," Gosar said on Twitter.
This is what we are dealing with, much more from the right than from the left.
