  It's an authentic screenshot of a real and massive error in a very important process. So people were asking about it - where's the problem? 140K erroneous votes for the other site would have caused a meltdown on Twitter. Calling this misleading is misleading.

      I genuinely don't think that's a fair characterization. People watch those guys like hawks. I still remember the endless lies about the fish food with Abe, completely distorting reality.

If sides were switched, people would not frame it like this.
