One think that makes it easier is when you identify certain sources where it's much more common. That way if you have a news source that you know tends to drop these headlines it's often enough that your BS senses are tingling and its true.
Or how this one site drops new in the morning that house prices is about to drop, the real estate market is slowing down and yadda yadda and then later that same day drops an article about how the market is hot, nothing shows any sign of slowing down and everything is going up up up. Contradiction much.

If I may -
Anagram of "stealing oil", "breaking" is the anagram indicator and "law" is the definition. 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Thanks for the explanation!
I guess I'll have to do a little more research/reading on CCC clues.
Especially the anagram indicators.

Here's the situation. A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away ...), I walked into a branch of a major national American bank and opened up some accounts (i.e., checking, brokerage, IRA, etc.), and was able to set up a passcode that I was to give to a telephone representative to help me with my online account. I no longer have those original accounts (or they are dormant, etc.), but do have an active credit card account. The code I gave is what I now consider to be a "throwaway password" to log into any internet account in which I can't be financially or legally harmed (like CodeProject ), whereas I use different passwords for any banking account, and especially the ones where payments can be made from my main stash  . Anyway, this passcode is the last instance of my having this "throwaway password" for something important, so of course, I want to change it, or even delete it, since I have a different passcode for my credit card account.
So I ask how to change the online passcode, and I am told that I need to visit a branch. I respond with the fact that I live far away now, and am told, sorry, no go. I call up the "Executive Office" number that GetHuman.com recommends, and I end up talking to a few folks that purported to be "executives" who, even after I strongly mentioned that this passcode should be considered insecure, that I could not even get it deleted!  I then said that any major institution these days has someone called "Chief Security Officer", and asked to speak to his office since obviously there is a big hole in the security procedures if a customer tells the freaking bank that the passcode should be considered compromised, and the bank cannot do anything to stop it from being used! (Of course I was denied. ) I then told the last yahoo that the government is going to force them to do this for me, and then promptly filed an official complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Yup. That's a major f***-up right there for that bank.

In the mean time I assume you've reduced your balances in accounts with them to 1 cent each and signed up for paper statements again.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
