What fearmongering do you find laughably wrong? What do you witness everyday that makes others clutch their pearls while watching the news?

I've been seeing the same thing with New York on yt. Single channel posting straight up "Immigrants Looting New York", "New York Destroyed By Gangs" type of bullshit using what looks exactly like AI imagery for the thumbnails.

Hell, I don't even need to see the video title or channel responsible to know it has to be bullshit if they're willing to use AI generated images in the thumbnail.
