I believe that they were just saying that people exaggerate things for their own benefit, and that people do it online for the same reason.
I totally believe that a bunch of things get thrown way out of proportion, from junkies stealing metal to terrorists trying to take down communications.
Psychopaths rioting reported as peaceful protesters.
It’s an agenda, follow the money…
Don’t take anything personal.

I can't imagine referring to media and law enforcement agenda-driven disinformation as exaggeration. The "reporter" that day had zero interest in my insight, and the sheriff's deputy, about a week later, listened but made no comment. I did post some rebuttals, when I could, to national media reports, but my story wasn't a very effective correction. My sense is that most of the "news" we get is twisted to some degree.
