It's the easiest way to diminish and brush aside criticism.

"We got this one random death threat" from a clearly unhinged person who has zero way to actually carry it out. But because of that, all the criticism of the last month won't be looked it.

Happens all the time, it's a typical PR move.

Find the one worst thing you can find to put the focus on that and ignore every other valid criticism.
