It's also a relatively easy, cheap and common opsec strategy to mask your geographic location by constantly sharing news from a place you're not actually located at. Same as saying "good morning" every day to your "team" when actually it's night at your location.
I read years ago that the US "SEAL Team 6" was named to throw off adversaries (primarily Russia at the time; maybe again now?) that the US actually HAD at least 6 SEAL teams.
