I'm just reiterating the importance of archiving articles before posting a link.
This is relevant to Pizzagate because of the proven (Savile) cover up of Pedophile rings by mainstream media (BBC.)
Yesterday, a voater posted this https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1815208 in reference to Erin Moran's death. Shortly after the post, her autopsy report was released and Fox changed their story. Some people were very nasty to the OP because they thought the post was deceiving.
If you did not already know this, online media can and do change articles continuously without adding an "editor's note" citing the revisions. There is no way to view the original article without having an archived version. The only way that I've found to notice a change, is if they change the title, the original title will be in the URL.
EXAMPLE from yesterday's article from FOX:
Original headline can be seen in the URL: https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/04/24/erin-morans-final-days-fellow-former-child-stars-were-trying-to-help.amp.html
"Erin Morans Final Days - Fellow Former Child Stars Were Trying To Help"
Edited Headline: "Erin Moran 'likely died' of complications of stage 4 cancer, autopsy reveals"
I don't think in this instance that Fox was trying to be deceptive, but it's a good lesson on how easy it is for MSM to change things without us noticing.
So, the moral of this post (which I'm also guilty of not doing) is use ARCHIVE.IS
(Also, calm down and quit being so dang paranoid)
EDIT: I found the archive of the original story - http://archive.is/veksn (you can be vindicated @Godwillwin)

That's good. Keep a reminder to archive everything it doesn't matter what the site is. You never know when you might need it in the future.
