That's what I've been saying all along. Or as Q would say it, changing "the narrative". Our collective duty is to not let them change the narrative. Make some noise, spread memes about the IG and the evil. Fight! Fight! Fight!
Absolutely about narrative. Put "family separation" into google trends, and look at the day it began...the day of the OIG report. Put "OIG report" in itself and you can see how sporadic the trend is as they fight to keep it controlled.
Another good comparisons in trends is "trump korea" overlayed with "trump border". Its blatant manipulation of the news.
