The Disinformation Company (abbreviated as Disinfo) is a privately held, limited American publishing company that focuses on current affairs titles and seeks to expose alleged conspiracy theories, occultism, politics, news oddities and purported disinformation. It is headquartered in New York City, New York. Arguably, its most visible publications to date are ''50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know'' and the ''Everything You Know About (subject) is Wrong'' series, both by the company's editor-at-large Russ Kick. ==History== In 1996, Tele-Communications Inc. (now Comcast) funded a Hollywood-based internet initiative responsible for online projects like the Getty Museum and an internet-based political humor soap opera entitled ''Candidate 96''. The initiative launched its own interactive website, featuring the tag line; "everything you know is wrong". Soon after the site's launch, TCI cancelled funding and support for the site. The founding team kept it going, being nominated for an award for politics in the first Webby Awards ceremony. The Disinformation Company, as it was now known, was then acquired by Razorfish. Eventually, the Disinformation Company became privately held. In addition to publishing books, the company also has a home video division as well as multimedia/internet projects. In 2000, Disinfo organized DisinfoCon, a 12-hour event featuring Richard Metzger, rock musician Marilyn Manson, underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger, painter Joe Coleman, Douglas Rushkoff, Mark Pesce, Grant Morrison, Robert Anton Wilson, (Todd Brendan Fahey ) and others. In 2002, the company produced a four-episode documentary series called ''Disinformation'' (also alternatively titled as ''Disinfo Nation''). In 2008, the Disinformation Company itself was accused of spreading propaganda (such as 9/11 "Truth" material) by Louis Proyect.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Real McCain )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disinfo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
