Well then you'll have no trouble to find a verifiable source of it happening and prove your point. something beyond "this person said" or "here a potential example to showcase it's possible"
well then here's my refutation: some say this isn't happening at the scale this article claim someone say it's happening.
that should convince you by your own admission.
beside it's the article responsibility to provide evidence for their points. circular links leading to the same handful of stories is not "preponderant"
Good luck.
