You can't be distracted by the noise of misinformation.

The Internet has made it much more effective and cheaper to spread propaganda.

During the '90s the flow of misinformation was established.

Lies and distortions can be spread, via the Internet, in an inexpensive way, and the effects are astounding.

Vetting and verifying information is one thing. Having our government sending out conflicting messages to the American people when conflict can be avoided is another.

We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.

We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.

We need to police ourselves in the media.

There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them.

It is true that the Internet can be used to disseminate falsehoods quickly, but it just as quickly roots them out and exposes them in a way that the traditional model of journalism and its closed, insular, one-way form of communication could never do.
