That’s why a range of bad actors, from partisans to conspiracy theorists and trolls, seize on major breaking news events as opportunities to amplify their ideas to a large audience. No matter how quickly reporters at standards-based news outlets swing into action by talking to officials, witnesses and experts to gather verified information to relay to the public, conspiracy theorists move faster. The unfounded rumors can be appealing since they <em>seem</em> to provide answers to pressing questions, but they fall apart under scrutiny and fail to provide evidence.</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td height="15" style="padding:0;border:0;line-height:15px;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:transparent;background-image:none;background-repeat:repeat;background-position:top left;background-attachment:scroll;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;height:1px;width:100%;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;border-bottom-color:#53565a;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div> <p style="font-size:18px;line-height:21px;text-align:left;margin-top:30px!important;margin-bottom:25px!important;margin-right:0!important;margin-left:0!important;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;color:#004f71;"><a href="https://www.rumorguard.org/post/false-claims-that-biden-is-secretly-flying-migrants-to-the-u-s-to-vote-persist-online" style="color:#004f71;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;" target="_blank">False claims that Biden is secretly flying migrants to the U.S. to vote persist online</a></p> <center><a href="https://www.rumorguard.org/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2Foxdwsi28%2Fproduction%2F770b2595e1f6416464abe8549a60f5775b6475cb-1128x980.png&w=3840&q=75" style="border:0;color:#004f71;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank"><img alt="A collage of three posts on X.

But the report was misrepresented online and shared with misinterpretations and outright falsehoods. Former President Donald Trump elevated the claims in a Super Tuesday victory speech. These kinds of sensational posts can generate millions of views because they appeal to people’s preconceived biases, which is a good reminder of why partisan activists are often not reliable sources of information.
