minus-squaremosiacmango@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up13·edit-22 months agoHe said his source was “a man on TV.” Not even social media. He saw “a man” on the “tv” say it, so it must be true. Did he specify what man? No. What TV show? No. The moderators had comments from Springfield officials, and he had a nebulous TV man. That’s just false, not even baseless.

minus-squareEvilBit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoI mean to qualify as “falsely”, which is stronger than “baselessly”. I don’t doubt your position, I’m just appreciating that a media outlet is calling out falsehoods clearly without using softened terms.
