‘Into this controversy’
Media cliche alert. Media false premise alert.
To paraphrase John Rambo there wouldn’t be any controversy except the for the idiot players.
I hate headlines like this. Upon first reading, they sound like a statement of fact. After the semi-colon, you find out that it’s just some claim by an unrelated person or media outlet. Low information folks probably take it for fact, which is the goal of the disinformation media.
