They’re Back…

After a few days wearing a mask and flirting with a few pandemic-related realities, the Trump misinformation train is back on its tracks. “President Donald Trump shared a slew of social media posts Monday containing a wildly misleading video about the coronavirus, prompting Facebook, Google, and Twitter all to remove the Trump-amplified misinformation but not until it had been viewed tens of millions of times.”

+ AP: Twitter gives Trump Jr. a tweet timeout for pandemic misinfo. (It’s about time someone gave this kid some parenting.)

+ How crazy is the crap they’re spreading? This crazy: Texas doctor who went viral with unproven COVID-19 cure believes in demon sperm. (Bad news for Melania…)

+ WaPo: There are so many coronavirus myths that even Snopes can’t keep up. (And the editors understandably need mental health days…)
