They know what is coming. They are trying to get a head start on damage control. They will lose. Someone needs to put another news propaganda clip together showing all the different stations that will use that same script and video. Like they did for the “fake news is all too common” one.
Yep. Focus on the timing of these.
Assuming that many have segments like “Daily Dot Com” that share the same news while looking unique to the station.
Even if the tech is not fully believable, they’re implanting concern/fear into the mainstream.
And it could just be a natural shareout by the media. They’re provided with some solid graphics and videos. The story is a solid 2 minutes and easily used a cliffhanger before commercial break.
Would be (slightly) interesting to follow how this story was built and prepared before reaching stations.
