Can you please give some reference for this claim? Time stopping at the event horizon is quite the standard view in "science communication" of black holes.

Any GR textbook. I referenced two classic ones elsewhere in this discussion.

Or, for that matter, you could read the classic paper by Oppenheimer and Snyder which was the first published model of actual gravitational collapse to form a black hole. And was published in...1939. What I'm saying is not news.

That's because "science communication" sucks at accurately portraying the actual science.

Completely agree.
