And you trust this source because?

As opposed to trusting "Oregon Journalism Project"?

It's from their own Facebook page, it's the Google Image Search results from their own page.

“Before they deleted them” aka no way to check if this is BS.

Nonsense, the google image search result clearly still has the linkage established. There's nothing fake about it.

And why wouldn't you question why they deleted the original lol

That’s not the question. The question is “were they even there” before the “screenshot”.

As an example, I can screenshot your comment and have AI edit it to have you say “I really enjoy misleading people on the internet for money”, post it, and then say “I took this screenshot before they deleted it.”

Please just look at the bottom left corner of the "real" image.

You don't understand: https://x.com/alx/status/2112585386929397799

But also just look at the bottom-left of the image as is mentioned elsewhere in this comment thread: they didn't even bother to photoshop the entire image in their "debunk".
