People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen.
Maybe it’s not a good idea to use a media platform run by a megalomaniac moron as a primary source of news and information.
In fairness… People who turn to twitter for news aren’t the type of people that generally like to be informed by reality.
Imagine clicking on a video thinking it’s footage of current events and it’s from a game.
Imagine not being at all media-savvy and buying into it. MAGA types are idiot shitheads who are completely driven by their emotions. There’s no higher function.

Hard enough to get unbiased reporting at the best of times.
Every media outlet picked sides on this a long time ago.
