<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

The number of examples is far too many to even try and count, but the example that made me think of this is a [TIL post] that has since caused a wildfire of propaganda against that company.

This simple "Today I Learned" post regarding an event from SEVEN YEARS AGO was immediately latched onto by nearly every news aggregator and, by the end of that evening, was on Fox News, CNN, and your Facebook Feed.

Now, this annoys me because the story is SEVEN YEARS OLD and it is being rehashed and pillaged by the world all over again and treated like it's new news.  I feel that this makes such sites appear unintelligent and lazy due to their inability to realize exactly what they are doing: copying and reusing material that they already did!!
<bot>: A simple "TIL" post of an event from 2006 caused a fresh wave of propaganda because Reddit is so influential and widely-read.
