What's this?

It's still amazing what people will repeat. I go back though to


the fact that older generations (those 45+ probably) still adhere to TV news as an unbiased and reliable source for news. Which it was until Rupert Murdoch and the passage of FCC law to allow biased news reporting. This was carried over to those older folks' limited internet usage and BAM! they believe way more crap than actual facts and never learned how to research appropriate sources and facts. I'm also not saying younger people are good at this, but younger people are more likely to throw out insanely stupid conspiracy theories, and go for those plausible ones that twist and distort the facts.

Now, because you are reading this, you generally are not included in the older generation generalization because you know how to use a computer, the internet AND a message board.
