Why it works
The rumor opens over a stark portrait and headline, then the correction and map reveal at 0:07 coincide with the strongest replay peak. Two illustrated cases (0:12–0:31 and 0:31–0:49) refresh the story with faces, dates, documents, and geography, while selective orange caption words make dense narration scannable.
