The article is largely good quality but what even is this:

“We couldn’t destroy the Taliban, but office work destroyed the Taliban,” said one Tiktoker, reviewing articles and quotes from the report.

It doesn't even name the person. Just cherry picked some random quip from social media and pasted it into the body.

    Hell, there are even news articles only quoting Tweets.

    And TV shows only re-streaming viral YT videos. I imagine these people just watch YT the whole day and call it work.

    It always seemed strange to me as well. Who is this person, and why should I value their opinion?

    Editor: The article is great! All we need now is a quote from social media and we can publish.

    Journalist: We haven't been able to find anything suitable, everyone thinks this story is satire.

    Editor: Then just post one yourself and then quote that! But don't reference your name, that'll be a dead giveaway.
