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 There is no way to view the original article without having an archived version.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)

I have noticed several things I have tried to archive on archive.is have failed.
I get a google message that the site is blocked. Even though the URL is still up and running and the site is live on-line
Sometimes I will find an important essay on the "Wayback Machine" archive.org / when it is no longer live and not on Archive.is.
But Archive.is will sometimes let me back - up the Archive.org copy; and sometimes, very often, it will not.
I wanted to bring this up today on VOAT , so your message is very timely.
I need to find a way to use a spider to back up some entire sites.
The images are very important to some analysis and for some sites the Archive.is will not save the images.
In the case of Mathis the images are very important since he is a photo analyst.
mileswmathis.com
is not perfect in all respects. He is an investigator and does speculate some, but the site is too volumuous for me to back it all up by hand. And it should be backed up by more than just me.

That site looks like it has static page, not dynamically generated, in which case you can use this tool - https://www.httrack.com/
