Q POSTS 2639-2642: Why FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! in 3 of 4 recent posts?
These Q posts seem grouped: all of them focus on FAKE NEWS.
POST 2639 lobbed a bombshell: a twitter post from WaPo reporter Max Boot, a fervent anti-Trumper, doing a 180 on troops in the mid-east between April and Dec 2018. It's tempting to take this news at face value because it's from Q. But Q didn't provide any sauce, so anons went looking. In less than 2 mins, one confirmed that Twitter said it's fake news (>>4408987). Another anon found the original fake meme (>>4409620; radiogunk.com). Another anon thought there might be hidden data in the image (>>4409641). A couple didn't like Q posting fake news (>>4409104, >>4409572). Some of the first discussions ended up in this notable:
>>4409261, >>4409301, >>4409395, >>4409571 Anons discuss WaPo title from Q drop
Meanwhile, Max Boot was deluged with negative twitter messages about his seeming hypocrisy. Within 15 minutes of the Q posting, he responded with a tweet substituting the real headline (>>4409123). Fair enough.
This was soon followed by a WaPo article with this headline: "Someone put a fake headline on one of my columns. Trump supporters bought it and blasted me" This article is in notables (>>4442452), although its title, "Meta fake news," practically hides the post. I only found it thru the Index.
Boot's headline is not fake news, but what follows is. Is his assertion that it originated with Q also true? Maybe. After all, Q sent the message. But the Boot states his objections moves us quickly into the realm of polemics–and pretty nasty polemics, at that:
"And where did this crazy forgery originate? Apparently in the same place as so many Trump conspiracy theories these days: With an anonymous pro-Trump troll named "Q," who claims to be a high-level governmental official sharing details of a vast plat–"QAnon"–that grows more demented by the day."
He goes on to link Trump to the plot, which he correctly says involves "fighting a worldwide ring of pedophiles." Here Boot reveals the truth, but characterizes it as a lie.

After Post 2639, Q goes on to drop three more posts about Fake News.
Questions:
Why did Q drop an example of fake news in 2639? To test us? If so, anons as a collective passed with flying colors.
Why does Q keep pounding on the issue in subsequent posts? In three of the four posts, Q literally shouts about Fake News: FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! This is a very strongly-worded message.
What else we need to understand about fake news? We know the importance of verifying unsauced claims. But what else don't we know at this point? What is Q hinting at here?
My earlier post on this didn't attract discussion (>>4444211); hope the additional sauce gets people as curious as I am.
