The article is a nothing burger, but the "Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA)", sound s cool!

FR could set one up? The Old Crow gang? But if fully implemented, would likely crash a large portion of the North American internet.

I like the three crows! (Billy,McGee, and McGar?) Unsure how to post their likeness?

From what I’ve heard the Indian state of Bihar is
sort of their version of Arkansas.

Three crows are a symbol or metaphor in several traditions. Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in European legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion.

I’ve been to Arkansas a few times and enjoyed diamond hunting in CRATER OF DIAMONDS STATE PARK!
The day after I was there a girl found a BIG ONE!
I probably walked right past it?

Do they have diamond mines in this part of India?

No idea. The guy who made that comparison told me it’s considered backward or “redneck”.

“redneck”

My father’s family were all from SW Ohio.

They used to say; “But for a couple of miles and a river, we would all be briars!”

I was born in Ohio because when my dad discharged from the service Pittsburgh was in one of it’s 20-year downcycles where there are no jobs here, so he and my mom could not immediately return to their hometown.

The benefit for me was that I never picked-up the ear-shredding Yinzer accent that is prevalent around here. However, for years people have remarked that at times
various Southern fried things accents or phrases tend to come out of my mouth.

My mom explained that when I was a toddler in Ohio we were the only non-Kentuckians on the block.

“in Ohio we were the only non-Kentuckians on the block”

Down in Brown and Claremont county Ohio, Kentuckians are known as briers.

(noun) A Briar is a reference used in southwest Ohio and southeast Indiana to refer to a white person of Kentucky

what browser are you using?

For Firefox you do the following:
1) Right click on the picture (that will open up a box)
2) Click on Inspect Element (that will open up a box with code and the picture code will be shaded)
3) Right click on shaded code and select
a) open & select outer HTML & hit enter(you will see open and > on the far side of the box where you select outer HTML & hit enter)

For Chrome do the following:
1) Right click on the picture (that will open up a box)
2) Click on Inspect (that will open up a box with code and the picture code will be shaded)
3) Right click on shaded code and select
a) Copy & select copy element and hit enter copy element (you will see copy and > on the far side of the box where you then select copy element and hit enter)

Those will copy the code for the picture, which in this case is:
%img alt="" src="https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/indiatoday/factcheck/3c.gif"%

Note: So as to not post the picture I have changed the < at beginning and > at the end to %. But the code really starts with < and ends with >.

Then you paste it in a reply box and hit preview button. It all is okay then hit post button.

Note: Depending on how they set up the picture and the code they use to post the picture on their website means that this process may not work all the time. Usually if the code looks like the code above then it works. Just providing that as an FYI.

It sounds more complicated than it really is. 8>)

Hope that helps.

Here is the sandbox.
