It's very obviously media bait, and Keumars Afifi-Sabet, a self-described journalist, is the most gullible fucking idiot imaginable and gobbled it up without a hint of suspicion. Joke is on us though, because it probably gets hella clicks.
Because it feeds into emotions and fears. It’s literally fearmongering with no real basis for it. It’s yellow journalism.
