This is more likely. The media is NOT trustworthy and will run any idle gossip they’ve heard or even make it up to get out in front of the story.
It’s sad that citizen journalists on youtube will do more due diligence than actual paid reporters in newsrooms (let alone make up stories like the NYTimes)
you’re right, we know all the federal agencies investigating the Trump assassination attempt have political agendas, the same goes for nearly all of the media outlets reporting on this event.
IMO, the goal is to throw as much crap against the wall to see what sticks and confuse the public in the process.
There will be so many competing stories, even if the real truth were to come out, it would not get a lot of traction becuase of all the competing lies that will be told.
