All the News that Fits 0
Farron reports on a news nothingburger and wonders why the “news” sites that promoted it haven’t bothered to retract it.

The Hurricane Disinformation Hurricane 0
At Psychology Today Blogs, Susan A.

In view of the amount of traffic on the disinformation superhighway, I find it a worthwhile read.
