Thanks, this is very helpful. It would be wild if this was a very carefully crafted campaign meant to bait The Wire into blowing itself up over an almost-true but totally fake news story. Now I really want to know where this all ends up.

I was sympathetic that they were getting played when the first story came out but after they doubled down on it not once but twice, and seeing the “evidence” they’re putting out, it appears that at least one of their employees is in on the fabrication and regardless the whole outlet is willing to ignore basic journalistic standards in reporting this story.
