You talk about distraction - and I would argue that the article you are linking to is a distraction.
If you don't believe Iranian tweets are a major factor in Scottish independence - then why mention it?
And while I agree there is a lot of media manipulation attempts out there - I'd argue, if you take your Iran/Israel issue as an example - do you truely believe that Iran is outgunning Israel in this regard??
In terms of coverage - did this incident gget much coverage? https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260125-israeli-forces-ki...
In the 848 days since Oct 2023, 1109 people have been killed within the occupied terrorities by Israeli government forces or settlers.
That's more than 1 a day. Are you arguing that has disproportionate coverage?
I'd argue it hardly gets a mention.
