  I’m getting mails from a wordpress site I’ve subscribed to, but each mail has some clearly, alarmingly fake news in a banner ad at the bottom. How do I report this?

  What is the URL of that site? Mind we can only help with sites running on the wordpress.com platform.

  The site itself is great and I don’t want to prejudice it here.
  Also, the ads do not appear on the site – only in its emails with its blog posts.
