Why does he then use his own voice to breathlessly repeat debunked rumors about left-wing activists in Portland? You think he'll correct the record in the next episode?

While he probably should retract that there is a lot of false information going around. I think people are conflating this guy https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thepostmillennial.com/arson... with Antifa. But he just appears to be your run of the mill crazy arsonist.

Also it's worth pointing out Antifa did go around starting fires. Mainly in cities, burning down businesses and police cars.

He used to go around saying the moon landing was fake but did a 180 on that. So he might yet retract his claim.

I haven't found the trifecta of ('Oregon', 'Left-wing activists', 'forest fires'). But I wouldn't have written an article making a claim that it definitely didn't happen. "falsely claimed" and "debunked" are unjustified claims themselves.

We are living in a strange time where many people think they know more than they do.
