I think what happens is things come from people with certain views, who seem to be part of some specific tribe, and so the presumption is they’re just spinning a thing for their own angle.

This happened all the time during COVID. Facts about its transmission and impact, would be immediately dismissed depending on if it went with the story we already accepted.

Everyone has already accepted a story of “Israel good”, or “Israel bad”, and online forums hardly change anyone’s mind.

"genocide good" ? that can't be, but it seems to be the case for a vocal minority on HN (I got banned several times over the last two years for accusing Israel of genocide ad starting a shit storm of angry mob comments)
