I seem to have an extra sensitivity and irritation with "Truthers" not being accurate and honest in their podcasts. Admittedly, though, they cite their sources and sometimes play the source video or show a tweet from their source. But still, the info is incomplete and seems to either be bait or influence ops. Thought manipulations.
Examples: All Truthers calling out the RESTRICT Act with fearful warnings about it. It has only just been introduced in the Senate and assigned to committee! No further action. So, where are bills sposed to be introduced? The House? Not the Senate? Where's the related House bill? What is its status? Will it pass the Republican-led House within the new House Rules?

I need prayer because I really don't like fearmongering from anyone, but especially those who purport to tell the truth. Trust but verify.
I will trust God to lead me along the path of righteousness with the belt of Truth firmly around my waist and the Holy Spirit of Truth guiding my thoughts.
Oh Lord, please help me with my attitudes about others' trustworthiness.
EDIT: Oh, Lord, let me focus on the needs of others more than those of my own. Annestaan's comment reminds that there is always more significant things to lift up in prayer. Thank You for hearing all these prayers, large and small.
Well, I'll include you in my prayers, but only to thank God for giving you discernment. These "truthers" are lock step with each other, just the same as the MSM. One breathlessly reports something, five others pick up on it, three more come along to pick a big fight with everyone, then they all make up and go back into their little holes to wait for the next "BREAKING BOMBSHELL" they can pretend like they researched and discovered. Don't be upset with yourself for recognizing what is absolutely true. They are not trustworthy.
Well put. It's a form of attention seeking. But beyond that, I think it promotes doubt and fear. "Truth" is often slippery enough without insisting on alternate theories that mostly boil down to paranoid denial of absolutely everything.
Let's pray for them to the One who is trustworthy. And still seek what is true. One day we will see the Truth. I look forward to that day--when completeness, perfection, comes.
