It's interesting. The Verge retracted the story only after being called out for it and tweeted that the article "did not meet our editorial standards".  Redditors are playing it up like it's just a mistake and readers are lazy, won't verify the information. And I'm sitting here like, "But isn't part of the media's job to verify the information for us? Especially when The Verge is part of the MSM that doesn't get taken down for being 'fake news'?"
