●● Misinformation: The Media is Already Turning Over 1,000 Additional Microsoft Layoffs Into Just 1,000

Posted in Deception, Microsoft at 7:31 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

The original (scoop, leak):

Image: Report on Microsoft layoffs: more than 1000

Misleading follow-ups below. OVER 1,000 layoffs noted above in the seminal report. Almost every site we saw so far says “1,000″, even though the original said MORE (that can also be 2,000). Examples from hours ago:

Image: Report on Microsoft layoffs: only 1000

Image: Report on Microsoft layoffs: 1000 layoffs

Image: Report on Microsoft layoffs: 1000 a distortion

Summary: “Reporters” keep on repeating (parroting) the "10,000" fictional figure from Microsoft (it was vastly more than that; maybe 20,000 or more were impacted by the layoffs); the “reporting” now continues with a subtle distortion wherein over 1,000 — i.e. no upper bound, just lower bound — simply becomes (exactly) 1,000

=> keep on repeating (parroting) the "10,000" fictional figure from Microsoft | it was vastly more than that
