@theindex but the claims weren't baseless, they were based on witness accounts.
Maybe the witnesses were lying. But to say the claims were baseless means that anyone who heard about the witness accounts is just going to dismiss the story as gaslighting.
The press must engage with the people where they are, not feed them lines that they know to be false.
