Disinformation Overload from Digital Carnival by Jason Didner
Inspired by grunge and the soundtracks to political thrillers, this song lays out some clear warnings of the consequences of getting your news from social media posts instead of reputable professional sources. Helping spread disinformation helps groups who would rather see democracy fail.

Lyrics
Raiders recognized our weakness
They saw we were exposed
We left our front door open
While our minds were tightly closed
They simply used our anger
At those who disagree
To divide and conquer
Preying on our vanity
We were glued to our phones
So they flooded the zone
Disinformation overload
Disinformation overload
The truth got tossed by the side of the road
Disinformation overload
I click on a headline
I share with a remark
I'm rolling with the bots and trolls
And swimming with the sharks
You click on that headline
And your rage begins to rise
We're only serving someone
Who would benefit from our demise
We place our faith in our phones
We help to flood the zone
Disinformation overload
Disinformation overload
The truth got tossed by the side of the road
Disinformation overload
We are useful idiots
When we get our news
From social media
Real journalists follow rules
Real journalists follow rules
Disinformation overload
Disinformation overload
The truth got tossed by the side of the road
Disinformation overload
