One of the best ways to combat low information articles and or just flat out false information is to point it out and point to the correct...Ideally, I'd like to have a sort of "related links" feature where we could add additional links to the same post without needing separate ones for slightly different treatments of the same story.
When it's more of a general story like this and there isn't a specific source, I think it would be best to submit or edit to somewhere that has a more detailed article instead of something extremely minimal and sensationalized that's obviously just intended to get quick reactions.
I think this will be a better long term strategy. One of the best ways to combat low information articles and or just flat out false information is to point it out and point to the correct information. Comments can sometime do this. But realistically comments get lost in the shuffle sometimes even by the best intentioned people. Having the ability to link directly to the Post would be great for this. As well as having the benefit of crowd sourcing a deeper understanding of information.

Works both ways. People with heart Issues should not take Viagra without doctor supervision. But my 75yr old Father In-law takes it because of his heart condition. We get a pretty good chuckle out of it. I do a lot of the driving him around. (He dosn't see that great these days) But every time we go to the heart clinic and or to pick up his prescription he makes some kind of old guy joke about stopping at the senior center to take the Viagra for a spin. His wife of 40 years passed a long while ago. We never stop. He isn't serious. But he still makes the joke every damn time.
