The Disinformation Damage print serves as a commentary on the harmful impact of social media on politics. While politicians have historically stretched the truth, credible news outlets traditionally corrected falsehoods and held them accountable. However, social media has altered this dynamic, enabling the rapid dissemination and perpetuation of lies. This tactic, frequently utilized by the right, inundates the public sphere with falsehoods, making it challenging for journalists to rectify the record. Followers of these politicians often echo and amplify these lies while suppressing attempts to uncover the truth.

The remedy to this chaos lies in citizen vigilance: fact-checking information and supporting credible journalism. Only by understanding the facts can informed decisions about policy be made. A portion of the proceeds from this print will aid Brave New Films in their investigative efforts addressing critical social justice issues such as voter suppression and racial bias.

Frank Shepard Fairey is an American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, activist, illustrator, and founder of OBEY Clothing who emerged from the skateboarding scene. He first became known for his “”Andre the Giant Has a Posse”” sticker campaign while attending the Rhode Island School of Design.
