You know in movies when the head of a crime organization thinks there's a leak so he tells 5 people 5 different places where the next shipment is coming in to see if the cops go to any of the locations?
It's kind of like that, in this case the media is the cops. (It's not a perfect analogy)
Change things, see who notices, see what you can get away with. They're testing to see if anyone is watching, I bet this kind of low hanging fruit is happening all over so they can find a weak spot and exploit it.
If you do this to everything you're bound to find somewhere vulnerable.
Maybe money doesn't make it to FEMA. No one notices? Perhaps it ends up in a memecoin. Someone does notice? Oops, accounting error! Silly us, we figured it out though. Nothing to see here.
OK! I can bite on that! But still, changing the stupid website changes nothing IRL. I could see a staffer pulling this on his own, OR, try this on:
Trump's being told that he can't do X, Y or Z because Constitution. "I don't like that. We should change that." Some idiot takes that as an order? I've seen stupid shit exactly like that in private enterprise.
