Propaganda Debunking

for everything you see on line.

I recall having a lengthy argument with my son some years ago about some kind of rocket car that supposedly crashed somewhere near Phoenix. He'd seen a lengthy thing about it on line that convinced him it was true, and I kept on trying to get him to understand that if it had really happened, it would not be an obscure and unknown incident. I think I finally got through to him.

But I'm old, and so I grew up doing research the old way, looking at actual documents, finding things in published books or magazines.

I'm constantly frustrated by a good friend my age (74) who is far too inclined to believe what he sees on line. Again, start with skepticism and you won't go wrong. And you will NOT get sucked into something stupid.
