I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    This seems like an organized propaganda campaign to simply disrupt and people are falling for it.

    It’s likely not fake but Russia and China have official policies for spreading firehose of falsehoods whenever anything happens. They don’t even have to invent anything just amplify enough for grifters and memers to take off from there.

    We are so fucked and people have just given up on finding reality sadly.

    Even journalists are losing it. 60 minutes doing interview immediately without any research or preparation or time for story to develop is peak nail in the coffin for our information landscape. It’s literally the slow journalist group and they couldn’t slow down. We didn’t even need AI.
