We are watching a new kind of misinformation creep in: bogus quotes invented by sloppy AI assisted reporting. EFF caught multiple outlets attributing fake statements to their staff, and one even cited a person who does not exist. The editor at one site owned it and called it AI slop. The fix is boring but real: verify the quote, verify the link, then publish.

TL;DR
📰 Fake EFF quotes showed up across several outlets
🤖 Editor blamed AI slop and apologized
🔎 Verify quotes and links before you share
🛡️ Newsrooms need written policies and human checks
