One human trait that transcends politics is a general willingness to uncritically accept propaganda that confirms one’s personal beliefs. It’s how people are so easily manipulated, yet many seem not to care as long as they’re being manipulated down a path that seems agreeable to them.
My belief is that they can be used to confirm a story, but the absence of it does not confirm anything because they all are under the chilling effect of the regime if not owned outright by a right wing billionaire member.
Just to be clear, what I am not saying is “believe everything without evidence” what I am instead saying, is that relying on compromised sources as your version of truth, despite that in the past typically being most reasonable, may no longer be. I mean, why are we all here on lemmy anyways right?

So do you think this is real or not?
The only mentions online are on social media. The one article I found from a cursory search simply references those social media mentions.
I’m 50/50. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was real, but I’ll assume it may not be until any even vaguely reputable sources provide any confirmation.
Do you believe in mainstream media outlets still?
