This is great news! It’s been a while since I’ve watched “Greater Boston” but I still remember one show, many years ago, when Callie Crossley brought up the issue of “reliable” online news outlets broadcasting stories from other “reliable” online news outlets without properly vetting them first, just accepting them at face value based on the reputation of the source. She made the point that once a dubious story had made it onto one reputable online website, it would soon be spread far and wide across all outlets and taken as unquestioned fact. Prescient! This was well before the epidemic of “alternate facts” spread through social media.
