Stupidest ways people claimed a lost media to be fake

The Donald Trump Oprah episode. In 2016, a quote online emerged supposedly from an interview from People magazine with Donald Trump from 1988


"If I were to run, I'd run as a Republican. They're the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they'd still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific."

Fact checkers were quick to debunk this quote saying no such article existed where he said it, most people took to at face value and didn't really question it as their were a lot of rumors flying about for both candidates at the time. However, some people noticed that the accompanied picture came from an Oprah Winfrey episode from April 25, 1988, some fact checkers jumped on that as well saying that he said no such thing in the interview, but people began looking for the episode to see if the quote was actually from the episode, only to find the episode has been ripped from just about everywhere the only thing that has been found is a couple of clips from said episode, so how can it be completely debunked if we don't have the episode? Right now, 3000 dollars is offered to anyone who can find the episode in its entirety, 100 if you can find a legit transcript of the episode. I believe there's something in this episode, whether that be the quote or something else, that Trumps party doesn't want us to see. I wouldn't be so sure if it ever does resurface that it won't be heavily edited or immediately pulled off YouTube for copyright.

To me, it's when people said Pink Morning Cartoon was fake because "they could've just used a VHS filter." You can't find a VHS today that's that accurate, let alone in 2007.
