Give the guy the benefit of being the man on the spot and listen to him, and don't be overriding what are basically facts he's giving you more or less firsthand with your own, uninformed and unconfirmed interpretation of how you think it went down.

He's viewing it through the American media lens, as grindy alluded to earlier. The bias is so proliferated in our media that we're skeptical of everything except for what we already agree with (I mean, who would lie
and be on my side? Nobody). Tbh when I saw the link Goofle posted I thought it was just some right wing clickbait as well.
