Tess Owen：关于联邦调查局策划1月6日事件的阴谋论之所以能够持续存在，是因为其中包含一些细微的真相，例如，当天人群中确实有一些线人。这些真相足以让阴谋论继续流传，并且一些媒体和政客也没有完全揭穿这个阴谋论，反而在一定程度上助长了它的传播。 Enrique Tarrio案的判决结果，虽然应该有助于驳斥这一阴谋论，但“骄傲男孩”组织已经继续存在，并且其活动更加隐蔽，这使得彻底消除这一阴谋论的难度加大。 Leon Neyfakh：1984年纽约地铁枪击案中，媒体对事件的报道存在严重的偏见，将枪手塑造成英雄，而对受害者进行妖魔化。这反映了当时纽约市高犯罪率和公众对政府和警方的不满情绪，以及媒体在追求耸人听闻的新闻时对事实的歪曲。 媒体的报道不仅没有客观呈现事件的真相，反而加剧了社会矛盾和种族紧张，并对公众的认知造成了长期的负面影响。 即使在多年后，媒体对该事件的报道中仍然存在对事实的错误描述，这说明媒体在报道中需要更加谨慎和负责任。
