Welcome to discourse in a post-truth society. Reality doesn't matter anymore; news agencies can just make shit up, and even the comments on the fake articles are fake.
Rail against it, until it's the only thing you ever do. A single bot can still post a thousand times more, and on a thousand different accounts, and on a thousand different platforms. Just one of them can formulate fake ideas and then fake arguments with itself that enfold like a fractal, and there is an effectively infinite number of them.
Kessler Syndrome is happening before our very eyes, only on a much more local scale.
