Fake News: FBI Intelligence Bulletin Was NOT Falsified
Did members of the media falsify an FBI intelligence bulletin that warned conspiracy theories are a new domestic terrorism threat? No, that's not true: The FBI has commented to Lead Stories about the document, and multiple members of the media, including The New York Times, NBC News, and The Hill, have all reported on its existence.
The claim originated from a series of tweets published by Praying Medic on February 9, 2020, (archived here).
