Ex NPC here pedes... STUFF LIKE THIS WOKE ME UP!!! I believed the news got their stories right. That they fought for the truth. Then in 2020 I realized oh they're hiding the truth from me.
This and other slip ups under the guise of "it was an unfolding story how were we supposed to know" will wake up more people to see through intentional falsehoods and just disbelieve things that are easily researched.
I went through something similar. Over reactive posts on social media and sensationalist news headlines from what were supposed to be credible news organizations flipped me from an uninformed voter who would say "I don't like Trump" to a curious "why are all these news channels pushing pure hatred for Trump?" and finally to "All this blatant coordinated hate is super suspect". Which finally pushed me to start researching both sides of every news story about him only to find out that 99% of the stories that made me have disdain for Trump had tabloid level journalism behind it and most of the time were just outright misleading bs.
