    Huh? That’s so ridiculous it can’t possibly be true.

    Can we get another source?

    Edit: yeah. This is also reported by plenty of other sources.

      You probably already know this, but you need to keep a lookout for where the articles are actually sourced from. Just because multiple sources are reporting on something could simply mean they are affiliated outlets publishing the same story from the same original author.

      This saves time for affiliate outlets, but it’s a practice that is vulnerable to the rapid spread of misreporting or intentional misinformation.
