A very long piece with lots of claims which overwhelm the reader. This is done to make it impossible to discern facts and what is true.

This is pure obfuscation meant to confuse rather than clarify. The purpose is to force people to accept the headline as fact because the article is so confusing the reader can't recognize which facts are important.

There are enough details to take apart the headline and thesis of the story, if you read long enough and understand how production, inventory, and sales work. Most aren’t going to read all the way through, and a lot of people don’t understand how reality works, so they’re good with the obscurement.
