Fact Check

I don't know about you but I feel like my inbox is over run with propaganda. I have found what I think is a good site to fact check things that seem outlandish. www.FactCheck.org seems to be a non-partisan check for some of these claims. As one of the articles wrote:

"It seems that no matter the facts, the desire to believe some of this stuff is just too strong. Emery, too, has come to believe that there's not enough proof in the world to stop certain political propaganda. "I have come to the conclusion that especially where political rumors are concerned, most people are so locked into a particular world view that they tend to reject any information, no matter how well supported, that contradicts their cherished assumptions," he says. "It's scary, actually how polarized we have become."

In a 2004 report on this topic, our director, Brooks Jackson, called for an end to the e-mail madness, saying, "This cyber-sickness should stop. All it takes is a little bit of common sense and skepticism, some curiosity and a few keystrokes. Nailing these lies can even be fun."

Apparently, lots of Americans didn’t heed the call. If you don't find checking out these e-mails to be fun, or just don't have time, I suggest an easier alternative: a healthy use of the delete key."

I RECOMMEND THAT WE ALL JUST STOP SENDING THE MADNESS. IT CAN'T BE AN ISSUE IF WE ALL JUST STOP. Click on the title if you want to go to this great fact checking site!
