Both-Sidesing

An approach to news reporting in which factual and empirical information is placed on equal ground to conspiracy theories and misinformation attempting to refute them. Often endorsed by legacy media organizations to farm clicks and comments with the often absurd nature of the both-sidesing taking place.

doomgrowing

The process of repeating multiple conspiracy theories, untruths, misinformation, and outright lies on a specific topic in short succession in order to "grow" a sense of fear and uncertainty in an unwitting target about the specific topic. Often used to promote a larger narrative to guide an unwitting target's opinion in a direction that would benefit the doomgrower.
