I believe the best misinformation/manufactured outrage campaigns start with a grain of truth or an existing non-manufactured opinion. This tiny grain gets augmented and overtaken in social media posts and then spreads to mainstream media who report on it dispassionately. One way to tell this is happening is that it appears in news everywhere seemingly overnight, without warrant. For example, ivermectin was just one of many potential therapies reported early on, but quickly spread to become one that almost everyone has heard of and appears in the daily news cycle constantly, taking attention and discussion away from many other things.
