I'm sure the CSM published a new article when the truth was found out,
however. This is why we shouldn't immediately write massive, unproportionate
sections about something that was recently in the news. Instead, we should
wait a while, to determine what its real notability is and give time so
everything in the news reports can be confirmed.
