How to Identify Misinformation
How can a journalist or a news consumer tell if a story is true or false? There are no exact rules, but the following clues can help indicate if a story or allegation is true.
Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory?
Does the story fit the pattern of an ��urban legend?��
Does the story contain a shocking revelation about a highly controversial issue?
Is the source trustworthy?
What does "further research" tell you?

Wow, what a load of crap on that site you posted. But I guess that was your point.
It's so easy to prove some of it's claims wrong that I can't see how anyone.. oh well.

Look over some of these sites and see whether or not there is agreement about the origin of the aids virus. |

Maybe so Dark One.
Still, attempting to expose the truth will always be far more noble than the way disinfo artist hacks such as you & your few little aliases here work so hard on keeping it covered in darkness. |

I suspect I'm probably going to come to regret this...but Igotthisguitar, have you ever perused this journal?
http://www.covertactionquarterly.org/backissues.html
It's probably a much better source of info than many of the ones you've so far cited... |

But Jeff Rense and similar types have no interest in the truth. They have an interest in disinformation for their own political and personal agenda.
Jeff Rense is a fascist disinformation artist just like his followers. |
