One of those "fabricated" typos you mentioned, which shows the quality of reporting on the situation.

If the media is just eating up fabricated errors meant to smear someone that tells you a lot about the quality of journalism involved with this story.

(Also tbc this isn't fabricated he published this, anti-china crusaders are just publishing misinfo that he didnt)
