GET ME REWRITE: Tucker Carlson and his Fox News team show off their pathetic research skills

 


Yahoo News, 2/23/2021

Here's how it's done, Tuck.  (And this one's been 'out there' for nearly a month.)

Bellingcat, January 29, 2021
Belllingcat researchers have analysed a dataset containing 4,952 so-called “Q drops”, the cryptic messages that are at the heart of the conspiracy theory. These were posted by an anonymous person known simply as “Q” — whom followers believe to be a source of insider knowledge about US politics. Whenever a Q drop appears, believers around the world eagerly try to interpret its hidden meaning, connecting them to real world events. 
The Q drop dataset was found on the image board 8kun, which was used by Q followers as a location to comment on Q drops. It contains posts dating back to October 2017, a time when QAnon theories were a fringe online hobby, and continues until October 2020 — by which time they were taken all too seriously.
