Don't get attached to anything. Only insert facts, yes or no, into these mental tables. --Who put the information out there --When did the piece come out --Who sponsored/hosted the platform from which the material was presented? And you can rewrite your queries later: --Who benefitted from putting this out there? Do they genuinely care, or does someone have dirt on them? --Is the timing of this piece somehow relevant to getting ahead of a narrative? Etc. Thinking for yourself and not attaching to labels will make you an excellent conspiracy theorist because your analytical self won't have any preconceived notions to bump into.
