I don't think this is responsive to my comment. I'm happy to trust reporting from NYT, Reuters, AP, WSJ, Wapo, Bloomberg, major regional newspapers... it's not a super high or politicized bar. Just something other than "a single twitter account."

if its on front page of HN already w/ hundreds of votes, i think its fair to assume its legitimate regardless of the source.

True looking nonsense floats to the top of HN semi-regularly; it's not a good enough metric.
