From all the rw talking point posts today you would think that
this is a rw board or a full moon tonight.

"I just got this email" "somebody in the office said" "please help me refute these" Followed by a foot of stale rw shit from faux. How about taking that shit someplace else for a while?

1. SOP should be to check snopes FIRST before coming to DU for help
That takes care of it 90+% of the time, the crap is so stale.

But don't blame me, I'm just a 16 year old high school student.

3. Consider this.
Even if the person IS a disruptor (which I really don't think most of them are - hell, even I've posted a "anyone heard of this one yet" thread or two), a quick response directing them to Snopes or another debunking site MAY just keep them from parroting the same crap to the next person (or site).

4. I hardly ever click on those posts anymore.
I'm probably missing some opps to help young, sincere posters seeking help, but those are few and far between.
