We are already at a point where there's a social media algorithm that looks at "viral" posts and then determines what news cycles need to address in order to continue to feed the narrative. There's only a certain number of people that witness live events well enough to retell them and be trusted; as the distance or eye witnesses increases and the number of people in between the eye witness also increases, the narrative loses value by orders of magnitudes. So, we'll hear of something happening, there will be social media posts about it, and the news cycles will already be explaining it away.
