    No. The misinformation has already done it’s damage and can’t truly be reversed. People who only looked at this in passing got their headline and are likely to pack this memory away as they first saw it. The others, well, even if there was no misinfo, they would have pretty much gone with a victim blaming narrative anyway, because they just hate them.
