Parent is talking about how the media was manipulated by Benchmark for their profit. You are using a media link as an evidence.

Umberto Eco talks in Foucault's Pendulum about how when you believe a conspiracy theory, evidence against the conspiracy theory becomes evidence for the conspiracy theory because you believe it's part of the cover-up.

In this case, I think the easier dismissal would be to simply say, "I think that Kalanick's relationship with Benchmark soured over time."
