If I understand correctly, Hedge funds have been selling excessive 'put' options so it gives the impression that a stock is in a downward trend. This bleeds a lot of companies dry and makes the fund money. A sort of soft manipulation.

Since the stock price has gone from ~$17 to over $300, these hedge funds have already lost several billion dollars. And it's still gaining momentum.

Take a topic - gun violence
Provide an official source of information - fbi.gov
Ask why media numbers do not match up with official sources. You can show how media fluff their stats combining suicides with homicides, ect.
Ask what reason they would do this unless they wanted you to think a certain way. The quick, undeniable jabs like this chip away at narratives.
