      8/ P.S. @mattlieberman I asked Google's search PR. They couldn't find a record of you reaching out to Google before publishing your video?

      I got an email from someone I trust asking about the situation. That seemed like enough traction to merit some work on my part.

      I understand, but you're helping incentivize future false, controversial stories like this with the free exposure.

      it's tough deciding when to respond. My hope is that legit sources remember to be careful and check on claims.

      in this case, someone I trust emailed me to ask about this. Seemed like it was getting enough traction to merit addressing.

      Right but they're benefiting as a side-effect and are financially incentivized to continue publishing false/controversial stories

          Not sure either, perhaps an official post stating search integrity is paramount for Google & recent reports are completely false.
