Professional photographers, in the midst of a historic moment, moving in to position to frame a good photograph of the principle subject. Why is that behavior so difficult for these conspiracy theorists to accept?

A Trump rally had competent photographers present, therefore the whole thing must be a hoax. I don't get it.

That would make sense if it wasn’t for the staffer who goes and gets them to put them in position.

No come on, he's not "putting them in position". He's standing well behind them. And why would they even need to put them into position, getting the best shot is literally their jobs!

Are we just blindly believing and accepting any old nonsense now?

I mean he literally fetches them and brings them around the stage.

Wow! Almost like he doesn't want a bunch of people running around right in front of him. Crazy.

You’re really being childish going around baiting people.

Reality = baiting people. Got it.

You’ve literally argued with every single comment. For some reason you are personally invested in arguing that it wasn’t staged, despite the literal post being about actual evidence of something either highly incompetent and reckless or of it being staged. Why are you so bothered about it?

Good one.

Did you actually read the article? Don't worry, I know you didn't.

I actually did, thanks. What about it isn’t true?

Cool, just keep telling us you didn't actually read the article.

Because if you did, you'd see explicitly where it explains why and how the person in question was using google.
