That's how it works. Either a leftist journoceleb takes credit for the scoop, and ree's say 'o wow amazing work and from a real authority I can trust!'
or a mainstream rino that's been wrong about everything for years takes credit for the scoop, and normie boomers say 'o wow amazing work and from a real authority I can trust!'
meanwhile mainstream media stays in power (to the extent it can), and norm doesn't learn how to distinguish fealty to opportunistic personalities from a person who finds truth and shares it.
