I think someone is intentionally circulating false information on Mike Johnson.

8. I think the only time this is really a problem is if

the information is left uncorrected once the poster discovers that the information is likely not true -- that way, the misinformation continues to spread. In your original post you've corrected the information and made clear that you're pretty sure it's fake news, so I think that's the most important thing.

In fact, it's probably better to leave it up with the correction than self-delete the post. This way, more people will likely learn that the information is false. As mentioned, this very thread debunking the story is currently the second result on DuckDuckGo if you search for rachel maddow mike johnson wife llc, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
