"RFK Jr. Fact-Check Dispute: Social Media vs. New York Times."

That's a big trend on X. Top post on the topic:

Oh! That is really quite insane.

Or is there some complexity in the phrase "But he was wrong" that I am missing?

Here's the original NYT article, "Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies/Processed foods are in the cross hairs of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but battling major companies could collide with President-elect Donald J. Trump’s corporate-friendly goals" (and that's a free-access link, so you can scour it for a justification for that insane paragraph). No comments enabled over there. I wonder why. (I love social media!)

"Did you just do the weave?"/"It's my own version of the weave, I call it the wander."

"Your brain knows bullshit," said Joe Rogan.

"You could kind of bullshit someone for an hour, but... hour two and hour three.... that's when the real you comes out.... How much are you bullshitting the world?...[T]he narrative about Trump has always been that he's bullshitting everybody.... But that's him, that's the, the guy's right there. You could talk to him about everything and anything. He's right there.... Your brain knows bullshit...."
