Remember that massive disinformation campaign against the Bill Clinton kid?

>Kid sneaks on stage during the game awards
>dedicates Elden Ring to his rabbi Bill
>gets arrested
>within hours dozens of Twitter accounts (all with comments off) create this baseless story about him being a far right nazi that was a guest on info wars

It really is amazing how quickly lies can travel with no one questioning anything. No one even knew that kids name, but they knew he was a guest on Alex Jones despite clearly being 15 or so. I even tried to investigate and asked multiple times how they knew this, and the 3 people that answered all said "I read it from another tweet."

Even on other websites, like Reddit, mods were going nuclear trying to erase all evidence he existed based on a lie.

Honestly his stunt took quite some balls and confidence. He even patted one of the guys on the back as they got the reward.

But yeah these guys don't care about sources. If it benefits them it's "I don't have a source, but trust me bro". If it doesn't it's "I don't believe your sources, they are biasd and untrustworthy".
