    Yes, it does.

    If the title was “Linking the Delta crash to DEI”, then it would be amplifying the lies. (And would be click-baity to boot.)

    Maybe if the title was “Right-wing journalist links Delta crash to DEI” you might be able to argue that it was an amplifier, but the insertion of “right-wing” is clearly indicsting out that there is a bias involved that is being called out.

    Adding “gross” cannot be more clear. If you are unable to comprehend that this is saying that linking the two is disgusting and unfactual, then you will never comprehend anything that is written to indicate that, whether it’s before or after the the statement.

    You are now erroneously calling out two people (the youtuber and the OP here) who are clearly calling out the terrible behaviour of the person making the link, instead of praising them for standing up to that “media host”.

      @JohnnyCanuck

      I can’t tell if you really don’t understand the importance of STARTING with the debunking BEFORE repeating the lie or if you’re playing dumb.

      Go on and ignore scientific findings of the significance that repeating lies first will make them sink in even in those who know it’s a lie.

      Go on and help fascism to thrive.

      But don’t be surprised if those who share that info with you regard you as part of the problem.

      Good luck—you’ll desperately need it—and good riddance.
