8. So you don't like any of the sources I linked to, even though you found a bunch of them citing ABC's retrtaction.

ABC, not the sources you dislike, issued that retraction. And they did so after an earnest attempt (or so I would like to believe) to authenticate the flyer they reported on as being genuine to in fact be genuine. And they failed to do so. What you think about the sources that reported this is irrelevant to what ABC retracted.

Are you disputing the authenticity of ABC's retraction? No? So why are you wasting my time on blaiming the messengers again?

Are you saying that ABC's inability to confirm the authenticity of the flyer somehow makes the flyer not a fake just because YOU didn't say it is or isn't? That's absurd!

And you really made my day when you called me a journalist for posting on an anonymous board. By your standards, every friggin Qanon nutcase with a friggin smart phone is a friggin journalist! How can I possibly respond in kind to such an honorific? Ok, give me some time. Maybe I will, right after I stop laughing my ass off.
