Fair enough. Until then, best to withhold (or at least qualify) all speculation.
That's not the question. The question is who is at fault?Those starting to think or those who do not and are dupes of her qualifications and what not?
The question is whether those being duped are held to the same criteria of scrutiny.
No they are not.
They are being duped by this choreography and orchestration of interviews. What sticks to the bureaucracy/officiality/mass is what she is heard saying first (rule of primacy amongst other things).
Eg. years after the Rabin assassination, despite extensive evidence that the alleged shooter could not have shot him in the back while he was facing Rabin, the official research in Universities on world politics still go with the story of right wing extremists in Israel shooting Rabin. Why they do not correct the error, much like many still believe in the Elders of Zions? It simply because that is what came first and most forcefuly that is retained, whether true or not.
