Information laundering

Narrative laundering

Recycling a state-originated framing through domestic voices who adopt it as their own — attribution becomes harder precisely because the later spread is genuine.

Pink slime site

A site styled as local news but centrally produced to political order — it borrows the credibility of local journalism without the accountability.

Forgery

A fabricated document presented as authentic — historically the workhorse of influence operations, and still effective when it reaches publication before verification.
