I think if it were obvious to all onlookers that the bild can’t be trusted anyways, then him acting as new source would be completely a non-issue; no one trusts the bild anyways. He’s not really a source of mistruth any more than a raving lunatic babbling away in the outskirts of town.
If that’s not the case, and people do trust the bild, then acting as source is problematic; but it seems to me that exposing the lack of trustworthiness is then important and unambiguously a net positive — at least if it reaches the same people who’ve been tricked in the first place.

- lupire 4y ago> exposing the lack of trustworthiness There not happening. Th people who spread fake news (on purpose or ignorantly as A/B automatons) have no interest in publishing proof that they are misbehaving.
