What is interesting in this case is that the claim seems to have arisen with a satirical story and that Starbucks has difficulty shaking that. That’s an interesting conundrum (or perhaps opportunity for people looking to promote a particular cause).

A small note – Visually-speaking, I think you could have made the conclusion — “False” more apparent. Or perhaps there’s an opportunity for a custom graphic of some kind there. It’s worth thinking about how the images and headers for a story will also serve to tell the story without the text.
