      First they blamed Hamas. Then they posted a video from 2022. Then they posted a video with a wrong timestamp (even though it was live). There were probably more but these are what came to mind.

          I hate this breaking news armsrace because it is a breeding place for fake news, especially on social media platforms like the cesspool twitter.

          I rely on two news stations a German one, mandatory founded by German citizens (so no investments and ideology from other sources needed) and Reuters. And if a news is on both and without the “not independently verified” label I believe and maybe share it.

              It’s wild to me how “jet fire can’t melt steel beams” persisted as a myth. Several engineering fields know that a material’s strength goes down at higher temperatures.

                It’s indeed true: Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams, it just turns them into wet noodles.

            Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? This is pretty amazing…. Who would have thought that this circus would come to town? But, you know—it may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS, that’s all I got to say. So what can I say? It’s—you know, the money’s rolling in, and this is fun.

            While that is in regards to the orange piece of shit in America, it 100% applies to this news arms race as you call it.

            They see the opportunity for money, who needs anything else once you’re first out the gate? Offer any contracts or don’t based on new evidence, it truly doesn’t matter once they get their clicks

        It’s important to clarify who is making those claims. Often it’s some rando or someone with no credentials to be making the claim.

        Do some more research. Check who that rando is. I debunked this tweet in like 20 seconds earlier in this thread
