Pascal Bérubé accused Éric Duhaime of misleading the public for several weeks regarding partisan appointments. He argued that hiring political staff in the government apparatus was necessarily political and that Duhaime had chosen conservatives for his riding office rather than Péquistes or people he did not know. Bérubé defined a partisan appointment as the allocation of state management positions unrelated to political decisions to individuals associated with the ruling party, rather than to the most capable candidates. He claimed that the Parti Québécois had committed not to proceed in this manner and accused Duhaime of spreading misinformation in order to gain a political advantage, which, according to him, undermined trust in institutions. #PolitiqueQuébécoise #Désinformation #NominationPartisane (translated)

A new study shows that Russia's disinformation campaigns primarily aim to discredit German politicians, with CDU politician Friedrich Merz particularly often in the crosshairs, while the AfD and BSW are exempt from such attacks. #Desinformation #RussischeEinflussoperationen #Wahlen (translated)

According to a study, the Russian influence operation Storm-1516 specifically discredited German politicians, particularly Chancellor Friedrich Merz, to support the AfD and exacerbate the division between East and West Germany, but without having significant effects on the election results. #Desinformation #RussischeEinflussnahme #Wahlbetrug (translated)

28.10.2026 USEFUL OLFI I fully support a free critical press that is why I have subscriptions to two Danish newspapers and Kyiv Independent. But it is not freedom when the Freedom Letter lets Flemming Rose represent Ukraine; just read his preface to the pamphlet about Bill Browder and the Cawling awarded Berlingske journalists. Or when Peter Ernstved and Ole Sohn pass on Russian disinformation about Ukraine's negotiations for the surrender of the territories Russia has occupied or wants to occupy. A military disarmament of Ukraine is not press freedom. Let's also get some press freedom about who pays for the Freedom Letter and other Ukraine negative media. Why has Peter Ernstved moved from his critical eye on the Danish defense to being a useful clown around the war in Ukraine which he still believes started with the large attack in 2022. I have heard him admit before that he knew nothing about Ukraine before 2022 he apparently still knows too little. (translated)

The author argued that merely “trying to do something” was not a serious measure of success in international security. They claimed the Kremlin wanted to revive what they described as disinformation talks about a “European security architecture” and was signaling that Europeans should get involved. According to the author, two leaders immediately did so, which they presented as a 1–0 win for Russia. #SécuritéInternationale #Désinformation #PolitiqueÉtrangère #RU

Impact reported that 40% of content carrying a risk of misinformation was broadcast on CNews after the protests of October 17. Citing a survey from Droit à l’Info reported by Le Monde, it indicated that the channel had aired an average of 23 questionable pieces of content per day on immigration, compared to 5.4 previously, which is more than Europe 1, BFMTV, and LCI combined. According to Impact, the analysis of 20 television channels and radio shows found that 130 of the 170 segments directly associated violence with immigration without providing evidence. It also reported that 13 out of 20 media outlets had aired segments linking immigration and insecurity, and that their number had increased by 4.7 times after October 17. #Désinformation #Immigration #Médias (translated)

This week, one question runs through our readings: who decides our health, and with what means? In Parliament, the Nutri-Score was blocked by a single vote; a petition can reignite the debate, and every signature counts. The State publishes its strategy against health misinformation, and the WHO reminds us that the majority of avoidable deaths in Europe could be prevented. But health is also determined far from care: in the housing of priority neighborhoods, at the entrance to high school, in universities where equality lacks resources. Several documents give a voice to those who are rarely heard: disabled individuals deprived of their sexual rights, young trans and non-binary people, audiences distanced from sexual health services. On the medico-social side, good news: the waiting time to enter nursing homes is decreasing, although it remains unequal across regions. Finally, in the face of cuts to international aid, three researchers invite us to turn solidarity into actions. Enjoy your reading, and feel free to share these resources with those around you. #pratiquesensante #PromotionDeLaSanté #SantéPublique #NutriScore #DésinformationSanté #PréventionPrimaire #InégalitésSocialesDeSanté #SantéSexuelle #Handicap #MédicoSocial (translated)

Doctor Zoé wrote that since the launch of her "pollbuster," which she presented as a tool intended to deconstruct surveys and better predict electoral outcomes, many doubted the transfer of votes from the center and the right to LFI in the second round. She described these doubts as misinformation and indicated that she would explain them. #Élections #Désinformation #Sondages (translated)

The author wrote in a column that Russian propaganda agencies, MAGA accounts with millions of followers combined, and Elon Musk himself are demonstrably pulling in the same direction. Their goal is to destabilize Europe with disinformation; at times it can also be unintentionally funny. https://t.co/jbeFuQVY0u #Propaganda #Desinformation #Europa #RU #US #EU (translated)

I had the opportunity to talk to Daniel Messling from “@Geladen - the battery podcast” about why fossil misinformation is becoming increasingly hysterical and how it works today. The reason is: the oil and gas industry and others are afraid of the pace of transformation. (translated)

Regelegorila estimated that "militant purity" and disinformation explained why some influencers refused to speak out. He added that it was necessary to accept that some people change their minds somewhat, as he himself had done, in order to move forward in a France that he believed had "spiraled." #Désinformation #Influenceurs #France (translated)
