Probably because this is the ONLY thing some people are reading and believing. It’s a “must read” so that you can talk facts when others are disseminating falsehoods. While I don’t believe we are going to change minds we need to know what is inciting the other side.
I’m saying all this without knowing “all” the facts myself. But at least I’m informed and know where the issues are and realize that the story here does not contain all the facts but only those that put one party in a favorable context...and the other in a damning context.
I didn’t need to read the same ol’ propaganda to talk the facts of the case. As stated, I feel that all that was done here is giving the article more eyes that it deserved.
