Not sure what to read out of your comment, hence the question. You just appear super-angry at "lies and propaganda", which the linked article is neither/nor.

Well here's one way to think about it.

When the media or even scientists stretch out facts to support a thesis they don't actually support, they directly undermine the believability of that thesis to the general public. In a world cooking itself, that's probably not the greatest strategy. They do it so often it sometimes makes me wonder if that's not the true intent.
