Proposed edit: “This is false.”

The same sentence applies to both and has the benefit of not lying to users that a “dispute” exists or that “sources” of misinformation have any value.
Think about how many words Twitter has to expend simply to demonstrate a lack of vertebrae.

Three words are all you need.
If it insists on being wordy, try this likewise accurate alternative by YouTube, which surprisingly has shown Twitter up in how to correctly label misinformation.

Twitter evolves.

NEW:

The Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit that would have blocked Trump's census-apportionment memo for lack of standing, a principle Trump vilified before that boosts him now.

This analysis of oral arguments held up.

lawandcrime.com/supreme-court/…

Ruling: supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
Justice Breyer, with Justices Sotomayor and Kagan dissenting.

The court's right flank ignored "unusually straightforward" threatened injury that shows standing.
None of the members of the majority signed their per curium ruling.

Most of the myths and conspiracy theories about a free press in the United States would be demolished by anyone spending any significant amount of time in a press room.
Two reporters whose personal politics might be light years apart from each other can cover the same politically charged event and churn out extremely similar stories.

Most beat reporters covering social institutions have integrity, and even if they didn't, the professional costs of burying news that damaged their perceived side or rewards to establish a record of credibility and scoops would be enough to set them straight.

BREAKING:

A federal judge REJECTS a restraining order to Georgia Republicans challenging the early voting practices in the runoff elections.
Judge Hall notes Georgia is at "halftime," far past the time for establishing new rules.

The plaintiffs did not exercise due diligence or show an injury in fact to establish standing.
Judge: The "motion to dismiss is GRANTED."

Case dismissed. Hearing adjourned.
