A journalist from The Times of Israel writes about an escalating harassment campaign to make him falsely “correct” a story at the center of a Polymarket bet — and says a colleague at another outlet was even duped into helping:
He said that someone he knew asked him to ask me to change the report on the missile impact in Beit Shemesh, and that it would be “negligible” for me if I did make the change. The journalist had no idea why his acquaintance was demanding the change to the article until I told him what I understood was going on. He then confronted the acquaintance, who admitted to placing bets on Polymarket and confirmed my theory.
