No more ... than

The following is an excerpt from The Japan Times of June 22. What does "It's no more glaring than in the early hours of a developing story" mean?

The spread of misinformation ? "fake news" if that's more your speed ? has long been an issue, but social media has accelerated it significantly. It's no more glaring than in the early hours of a developing story, where facts are scarce but the Twitter timeline moves at a rapid pace.

It's no more glaring does not make good sense.

I think the author means this.

It's nowhere more glaring than in the early hours of a developing story, where facts are scarce but the Twitter timeline moves at a rapid pace.
