....and the fact I had not heard of the source where the story was published, I honestly wrote it off as the left wing version of fake news. (By that I mean real "fake news" as in the random stuff that crazy friend on Facebook always shares on his feed, not "fake news" like what Trump refers to any legitimate news that's not favorable to him)

Turns out the story appears to be legit. Looks like I was wrong.

Kudos to Ms. Mensch.
