      Remember that the Key Point of misinformation is that it doesn’t have to be true, or demonstrably false, or easily proven one way or the other: It has to be First Out the Gate.

      That’s to play into what you just said! To make as many people repeat it as quickly as possible so people like you will start to give it weight.

      In all matters: Trust, but verify.
