Reply #27: What about unknowingly repeating lies? [View All]

[sangha]

Is that OK, or do you think that posters have some obligation to check their sources before they accept them as truthful and accurate?

And in the interest of full disclosure, I ask this because I believe you have unknowingly repeated a lie in this post:

You say you would like to see Kerry support a specific list of actions, and in doing so imply that Kerry hasn't supported that list. A response to that post shows that Kerry has been supporting a set of actions remarkably similar to the set the article implies Kerry doesn't support.

Also, source of the article, commondreams, is a very unreliable source. They seem to print anything without any fact checking. Not only have they published many articles based on specious logic, they often get the most basic of facts wrong.
