Good call. From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LifeSiteNews:

Ooooh "misinformation" and "conspiracy theories"... also often (but not always!) known as "spoiler warnings"

Yes, by people with an agenda of spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

> The source of the original talk is the CEO of The Atlantic,
