I don't doubt the autopsy but i find this framing a bit weird
> In the absence of an official autopsy, a coalition of right-wing pundits, conspiracy-minded journalists, crypto enthusiasts, and even Democratic politicians have questioned the circumstances of his death — and, at times, amplified misinformation about the case.
How is this a left/right/crypto issue? Also, before official information is released, i would not consider speculations "misinformation"
- FireBeyond 2y agoIt’s not active misdirection but it has less than zero value to speculate. If had a dollar as a paramedic for every time I’d heard “it’s good, I’m not suicidal any more” or “he would never have done that to us so it must be foul play” that then turned out to be, well, suicide, I’d have a lot of dollars. Sadly.

- p0w3n3d 2y agoright-wing pundits, conspiracy-minded journalists, crypto enthusiasts Sounds like source of all evil is wrong and even Democratic politicians Sounds like the even the angels are corrupted... Seriously speaking, I'm always against putting labels on people because it usually is used to divide them to "those who you hate so you should not worry about them". Amplifying misinformation is also what I'm against so this sentence will always be obscured to me
