No wonder the right is so misinformed

Their media talking about the ship that hit the bridge?
from [link:https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/no-racists-the-key-bridge-didnt-collapse|

" Alex Jones freaked the fuck out.

“Looks deliberate to me,” Jones wrote. “A cyber-attack is probable. WW3 has already started.”

Jones’ comments came in response to a post by accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate, who also claimed that the “ship was cyber-attacked” to force it to crash into the bridge.

“Nothing is safe,” Tate commented. “Black Swan event imminent.”

pro tip: don’t get your news from accused sex traffickers."

Oh, and there is more, much more

They'll have packaged foods and lots of guns.

We'll find them next spring.

A little common sense goes a long way.

For it to be a successful attack they would not have done it at 1 PM, when there was very little traffic. It would have been executed at the peak of rush hour, for maximum impact. A terror group would have taken credit by now.

The crew would not have warned people or tried to stop the ship. When they lost power, they dropped the anchor to try and slow it down. If this was a terror attack, they wouldn't do that. Commercial ships are not as computerized as military ships. Hacking a computer to guide the ship into the bridge, uh, no.

...they think that since they made it up, that makes it true. People with absolutely no knowledge of a situation consult the voices in their head and immediately "know" the whole exact truth.

BS that confirms their biases and hatred. I abhor Alex Jones but he wouldn't exist without willing stooges, nor would cheato.
