Every time I see an article about the train wreck posted to Reddit I see people in that very comment section claiming that they can't seem to find any news about it.

Honestly I'm starting to wonder if that's the whole idea. Spam every thread with false claims about it being "suppressed" until people just don't care/want to hear about it anymore. I can see companies being dumb/crazy enough to try something like that, especially with how cheap and prevelent astroturfing/botting on places like reddit is now. Crazy, but unless this is a dumb meme, I see no other reason why people think "nobody is reporting".

I will say, this is the first time in awhile there's been a major, active war going on and not a lot of people are old enough to remember how news shifted the last time that happened. A lot of people aren't used to how much the news will focus on a war, even if other interesting things are going on.
