The rabbit hole (conspiracy theories)
Cover-up
An effort to hide, destroy, or spin evidence so the public does not learn what happened.
Real cover-ups leave paper trails, missing files, changing stories, or whistleblowers. Absence of evidence is not automatically a cover-up.
Browse-only as a phrase — it appears constantly in ordinary news talk.
