Quantum of Conscience YT made this case a few months back. I think he's right. Getting caught in MAJOR lies/fake news HELPS MSM if it's only once in every several years or so.
Remember these?
How does MSM getting CAUGHT faking the news hit us?
Most react: "Oh they got BUSTED—bet they'll be more careful not to make THAT kind of mistake again!"
That's EXACTLY the reaction they want!
Like it's a "one-off."
Like it's rare—an anomaly.
It ''further concelas'' that it's STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE when it's showcased as a "one in a million" epic-fail.
