It looks like Newsbreak doesn't understand the point behind the battle against misinformation. What could its bots or algorithms possibly have identified in that story?? The story had a lot of information in it, all backed up, as you pointed out.

If I was you, I'd make a public point in telling them that such idiocy warrants a first strike against them, and that they only get the one strike. And so you're out of there.

As an aside, what do you mean by Maine becoming a centralized economy in 1976? That got my curiosity. Maybe I could google that, but I'm too lazy on Sundays.
