I think it’s reasonable to ask questions, explore possibilities, and verify with evidence. What those “news” organizations are doing is beyond irresponsible.
Asking questions is fine. Saying that a boat which you can see on video destroying a bridge didn’t destroy the bridge is entering into crazy territory.
When a plane crashes, “did a naked mole rat chew through the control wiring” is generally not a question people ask. Because that’s a silly question.
I mean… back in the 90’s the news from the other side of the world were kinda iffy, with obvious bullshit like a man in China having an hiccup for 30 years, or another being 200 years old, or the even more laughable idea of a school shooting in the US…
It’s the whole “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” thing again.

I agree! A lot of people have just accepted that crazy is a fact now, which is itself crazy to me.

Crazy is normal.
