I am constantly amazed at how reputable news outlets like the New York Times misstate data from Facebook's CrowdTangle - usually in a way that overstates the spread of the questionable information. But Facebook seems to deliberately want to prevent outsiders from getting access to information that would help us judge the scope of the problem.
