>thats why its so strange that this was never mentioned on NPR or anywhere else that i saw. actually it was mentioned once on NPR, extremely briefly. but it was never debunked, they never published an attempt to debunk it.
I remember hearing about it more than once on NPR and "On the Media" which is basically NPR. In fact, I just did a search on NPR's website:
https://www.npr.org/search/?query=2000%20mules&page=1
>3,558 results
scrolling through that list of thousands of results, only 6 or so have an actual match for the search term (lol). that explains why i never heard about it. the rest seem to be articles that are about elections, generally related, but do not mention 2000 mules. there are no debunking in those search results, only descriptions calling the movie "widely debunked" (by who?)
i just read the one article on that list that appears to directly address the movie.
https://www.npr.org/2022/09/08/1121648290/a-publisher-abrupt...
it links two articles that claim to debunk the movie, both of which are behind a pay wall. it then goes on to basically say nothing. they contact the groups that the movie accused of helping stuff ballots and those groups say "thats malarky." thats it.
someone downvotes me on a thread that has been made non-visible by the mods many days after the thread was posted and everyone stopped looking at it... how is that possible
