I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

It really feels like there’s an unseen hand making up these claims and pushing it out there which a big group of people then just run with it. Id love to be able to study where we’re seeing these first instances of these theories popping up. Those places should be watched
Do you suspect that there’s an organized disinformation campaign responsible for amplifying these ideas?
I am fairly certain this is the case.
Do you think the people on lemmy repeating these claims are largely just falling victim for it, or are a lot of these accounts run by disinfo influncers?
within the first few minutes, real people were replying to the tweets and Bluesky posts saying that it must be fake. maybe lots of people think everything that happens is fake
Wouldn’t that be evidence that this was poisoning the well
