Can more information be provided to make sure this is a true story or a political campaign ad? Is this why it is flagged?

Here you have 124 sources (and counting), from all sides of the political spectrum: https://ground.news/article/canadian-woman-says-she-was-wrap...

Campaign ad? The next federal elections are 20 months out.

124 re-edits of the same news wire does not equal 124 sources.

Agree, but that collection certainly amounts to more than 1 source, since many of the articles have first-hand reporting, and some even their own interviews with Mooney.

Ok "political propaganda", think of media as a brainwashing machine, it needs time to sink in: repetition -> familiarity -> truth -> votes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_truth_effect

Which makes me wonder of the "124 sources", most from repetition: https://bradonomics.com/trust-me-im-lying-summary/
