The founding in 1777 of the Journal de Paris, France's first daily
and distinctly commercial paper, represents an early use of
disinformation as a tool for political gain, profit, and societal
division. To attract a large readership and bar competition for
C.W. Gluck's works at the Paris Opera, it launched a prolonged
campaign of anonymous lies, mockery, and defamation against two
prominent members of the Academie Francaise who wished the Opera to
be open to all deserving composers but lacked a comparable daily
forum with which to defend themselves. In this unique episode,
music served as a smokescreen for nefarious activity. No musical
knowledge is necessary to follow this purely political drama.
