Remember when the media got caught using video game footage when reporting on the war in Ukraine? What are the odds that Israel would do the same thing?

People do indeed believe lies repeated to them over and over. I've met a few people who actually thought Jan 6th was an armed insurrection and that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 lol.

The media know what they are doing when they repost an unsourced troll. They makes some money from it then get away with a retraction because they have the power of their lobbyist sponsors. Those who don't have lobbyist sponsors end up labelled 'right wing media' and 'conspiracy theorists. It's bizarre that an article by MSM posting fake news is fine with people, but if an independent outlet reposts that same article they get condemned.

I'm more concerned when people believe government lies and narratives that benefit them instead of the truth, and I'm more concerned when people disregard facts to suit their narrative than when some idiot posts a troll on social media.
