Ships linked to Iran are increasingly using “spoofing” and other deceptive tracking tactics in and around the Strait of Hormuz following the start of a US naval blockade, the New York Times reported, citing maritime experts.

“Citing maritime experts”.

This is a tactic of modern “journalism”. In this case they ask numerous “maritime experts” what’s going on, and then they only cite the ones with the most anti-Trump admin takes. They’re technically not “lying”. They’re technically still “citing experts”. But the propaganda tactic is to present the experts as unanimous when really they’re just cherry picking.
