1. La Cita Central: Una Avalancha de Mentiras.
El tema principal que se repite a lo largo del documento es una advertencia atribuida a Joe Biden. La cita describe cómo los estadounidenses están siendo "sepultados" por la desinformación, lo que facilita el abuso de poder y ahoga la verdad con mentiras contadas por poder y lucro.

- "americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. We must hold the social platforms accountable to protect our children, our families and our very democracy from the abuse of power." joe biden.
2. Contexto del Discurso: Despedida y "Complejo Tecno-Industrial".
Muchas de las publicaciones sitúan esta advertencia en un contexto específico: un discurso de despedida pronunciado el 15 de enero de 2025. En este discurso, Biden también alerta sobre la formación de una oligarquía y un "complejo tecno-industrial" que amenaza la democracia.
- “americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power,” mr. Biden said in his farewell address on january 15, 2025.

3. Críticas y Percepciones sobre la Lucha contra la Desinformación.
El documento refleja una doble perspectiva. Por un lado, se lamenta que las campañas de desinformación "destruyeron" la presidencia de Biden y ocultaron sus logros. Por otro, se critica directamente a Biden y al Partido Demócrata por no haber combatido este problema de manera más efectiva y contundente.
- Disinformation destroyed biden's presidency. Especially since he didn't effectively fight it back. He was more focused on getting the work done.
- It’s just crushing to me that disinformation campaigns successfully buried the truth about biden’s very, very successful presidency.
- The biden administration had four years to address all of this, and they failed to do so. And by not doing that, they allowed disinformation to continue to flow freely and our nation to continue fracturing.
- I like joe biden. And miss him so much. But let's face facts here, dems have consistently failed at countering the maga disinformation machine.
4. El Rol de los Medios, Plataformas y Oligarcas.
La advertencia de Biden se extiende a la crisis de los medios de comunicación y la responsabilidad de las plataformas digitales. Se menciona el "desmoronamiento" de la prensa libre, el abandono de la verificación de hechos en redes sociales y el control de los medios de comunicación por parte de oligarcas.
- Biden: “ americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit.".
- The right wing misinformation game has been strong for decades and with the addition of foreign disinformation campaigns especially on social media there is a segment of this country that lives in an alternate reality. [...] oligarchs win we lose.
- As biden said, we are in deep trouble on several fronts. One being that misinformation and disinformation is everywhere because the means of communication is controlled by oligarchs for the most part. It’s up to us.
