I called the 2008 milk recall a hoax until I found the original AP wire from Sept 22 on a library microfilm in Fresno

Last month I found a 2008 forum thread calling the melamine milk scare fake news, and I almost scrolled past it. But the poster had linked a real AP wire date, so I went to the Fresno library and pulled the microfilm, and there it was on Sept 22, 2008, 22 brands named, 4 of them dead on arrival. The thread went quiet after a user dropped the scan, and the original post got deleted 2 days later. Anyone else got an old paper trail that shut down a hoax before it took off?
