INFORMATION WARFARE: ANATOMY OF A HOAX -- Compares Smollett, Covington, Kavanaugh, Spygate, and Ukraine hoaxes, along the lines of shared characteristic for each.

“Many of these characteristics are hidden from public sight during the initial phases of the hoax. Various tactics are often used at the same time, and a single action can fulfill several characteristics at once. Sometimes the characteristic can only be seen retrospectively, with the hindsight of full information. Therefore, these characteristics are generally organized along the hoaxer's timeline of activity, rather than that of audience awareness.”

Wow. Thank you for the work! The number 4008 comes to mind very strongly. I'll re-read carefully.

(Ponders) A fresh "List of suspect News events, updates (today's date)" would seem like it could include a core link to each hoax to accumulated them all in one place. And a fresh "new list today" link wouldn't be spamming.

That makes the long detailed post "Introduction to WTFBBQ" and "HOWTO Report and detail"

We're currently not all that organized or disciplined.
