A bit tangential, but here’s another trick they constantly use to great effect.
They conflate evidence and proof. The aim is to set the bar at proof, so unless you have it all tied up, the conversation is over. Then they’ll just say “no evidence” a bazillion times, despite there being plenty of evidence.
This tactic worked especially well to knock back the stolen 2020 election theories. They had the advantage that it all had to be put to bed very quickly. And every journo robotically repeated “no evidence.”
