Before people go jumping to conclusions, take a moment to think about this.
Is there really a "MASSIVE DISINFO CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY"? Perhaps. But
couldn't it have also been just a stupid mistake? Who really knows. Let's
just make sure people as many people as possible know about the correct
date for this effort.

Before making statements like the one above I would verify your assumptions.

"consider Wired News complicit". I'm not letting Wired off the hook, i'd
just like to see what James Glave of Wired would have to say about this.
