The article literally gives examples of the big conservative social media accounts making a fuss about the book list, including LibsOfTikTok which has millions of followers and frequently incites harassment and bomb threats toward their targets

I highly doubt the person you're replying to read the article I posted, nor did they actually do any additional research, as claimed, before deciding that this was "*fAkE nEwS." Because you're right, the sources of the boycotts are clearly cited in the article.

I read it. It's just the source is non credible and the Twitter post it points to is so small that it's obviously a non issue. The Twitter post having 2.1k likes. That's not significant.

It's just the source is non credible

What are you basing that claim on? Because it's patently false. They're a highly credible source with a clean fact-check record.

So stop making things up. I actually know the sources I share on Lemmy are credible and will back it up every single time people try to start making up lies and shouting "fake news" because they don't like the headline of an article I've posted.

Show me a significant amount of Republicans boycotting froot loops besides the 2.1k likes on a Twitter post.
