Can anyone help?
I have some friends who are forever sending me the typical made up partisan propaganda that is passed around the internet intended to hammer liberal beliefs and Obama, etc. I'd like to find a website that I could use to offset their BS. I've told them many times that I don't mind receiving personal opinions that they've written, but I don't want the typical made up misinformation that paid for hacks write for the purpose of passing around the internet.

I will on occasion personally respond to these with my opinion.

Truth be known I'd like to sign a few of them up for a true blitz of liberal information...hehehe.

Any recs?

1. You can try www.snopes.com
They are usually pretty good at pointing out inaccuracies and lies in stuff.

3. I am sorry...
...if I am wrong...

This seems like a phishing attempt...a way to get email headers\addresses for the purpose of hacking\harassment etc....

If I am wrong...sorry...but the best way to convince people is not by subterfuge or sketchy tactics, it is with compelling reason and intelligent research on important topics. They may not be your friends...
