Obviously on the Left, you published a single unsubstantiated email allegedly received by Lipton and forwarded to you by the Dixie Chicks manager, Simon Renshaw, claiming the Free Republic had orchestrated an effective national boycott of the Dixie Chicks. Even after a congressional hearing on this subject, not one person was found guilty of anything other than listening to their listener’s and sponsor’s opinions. You subsequently did nothing to correct the unsubstantiated claim. How can you expect to be taken seriously on this subject when you don’t even own up to your own propagandizing? The bar needs to be raised by everyone, else we will all drown in the new “disinformation” age. Can you “man up”?

On identifying misinformation: check out this interesting project, which is essentially a collection of news reported by media at various times, organized into timelines by topic. It’s known that a lot of intelligence is collected simply from mass media by tying stories together: this is the same idea. http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/project.jsp?project=iraq_project
Takes hell of a lot of reading though..
