Didn't you know that the Russians have hacked into our electrical system and that that bloodthirsty Putin is stealing electricity from the people of Vermont!!!
Oops!. . . Never mind! (Except that the retraction never gets a tenth of the coverage or distribution that the original fake news gets - And then the WaPo has the temerity to COMPLAIN and warn about fake news. One thing's for sure: the paper doesn't deserve the level of confidence given to it by its readers that it used to deserve in years past.)
