I don't know that I can recommend Reddit as a legitimate news source. You'd really have to make sure you're hitting the right subreddits. :/

usually the pattern is in reverse on reddit

government doesn't want you to hear people -> subject matter expert sees -> informs that information is faulty -> minority fight against the tide

Although usually this follows the covid lab grown pattern where the fight against the tide crowd usually treats their info as 100% certain which muddies the water when informed opinions have varying confidence levels.
