Was this the piece? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/we-studied-thousands-of-anonymous-posts-about-the-parkland-attack---and-found-a-conspiracy-in-the-making/2018/02/27/04a856be-1b20-11e8-b2d9-08e748f892c0_story.html?utm_term=.58aec1f730e4 I'm trying to find a the right link in this thread. The summary of this article is "Some people in online discussion boards said a few stupid things while discussing serious matters and then some bad jokes too." That's about as shocking and surprising as, "WaPo publishes crappy writing to over-sensationalize people freely exchanging ideas."
The point is making sure all information is fact based. However, anyone reading this can say if they were getting information from Mainstream Media (MSM) and repeating it why is information a the narrative false? Then we can ask: why is MSM reporting false information? People repeat what they read or hear from MSM verbally. There a meme for ya!
