People are in a panic about all kinds of fake shit all the time

Because they are exposed to false information presented truthfully. A thing you contend is impossible.

It was a work of fiction, the author acknowledges it as work of fiction

Not to the audience responding to the radio play.

It literally says it is a work of fiction.

It says it is Based On A True Story, and then includes the names of real people and the outline of verifiable events. There is no indication within the narrative that an event happened or not. There is no disclaimer on which characters are real and which are fictionalized.

You’re going to have to do better than one

I can lead a horse to water but I can't make him drink. You asked for examples and then you rejected them because you cemented yourself in the position that they couldn't possibly exist.

You're a victim of your own priors.

Nope, not what I'm contending. If you think I am, quote me on it.

Quote me where I said anything about the audience believing it. It's not a criteria for evidence of your claim.

It says it is Based On A True Story

This implies fiction. Also, it's says "Some of this is true". Also, the authors acknowledge that this is not a documentary, and that it is a work of fiction. It does not meet the criteria. If you bring this up again without any new points or evidence then I'm not going to acknowledge it, since you have brought up the same refuted point 3 times now. I'm tired of repeating myself, and I don't think repeating it anymore is going to get you to understand.

You've "lead" this "horse" to 2 bone dry mirages and the horse is doubtful that the 3rd shimmering pond in the distance is irrefutably water. You presented a position that can't possibly exist, hence why you can't provide concrete examples despite there being "plenty" of them and "it's incredibly easy". Your words there BTW.
