Our internet sources for truth in reporting are seriously being comprimised constantly. Attacks using frivilous subjects to inflame instead of concentrating on the more serious ones are the going trend especially on newsvine by non Americans. And yet we still flock to them.

| Actually Obama just Farted |
Our own supreme court has been complicit in the path of destruction Americans face today as is shown in an article posted below in a link I provided. The overwhelming amount of disinformation has mainly been from the far left media outlets like Media Matters, The Daily Kos, Huffpost, Snopes, Factcheck, MSNBC, CNN,ABC and NBC. There are more but most know who they are. Fox is also guilty by omission and a lesser amount of spin compared to the others. All the major networks are guilty from not telling the truth about Islam but that's a different subject for a different article.
Ommission of information is the same as disinformation.
Oversaturation of false informational spin is infectious and dangerous to our nation. It is so prevelent and repeated so much that there are people who actually start to believe it and fail to see the real truth.
Newsvine is a perfect example of this retoric described as truth in action. In my short time there I have observed the following as well as expierienced it firsthand. When the majority here (which happens to be left leaning) say it, then it must be true and it is backed up by others of like mind backslaping each other as if their doing so proves the falsehood true, at the same time calling anyone who has a different opinion from theirs a racist bigot who hasn't gotten out of grammar school yet. Of course this comes from the right as well but not nearly as much as from the dominant left since there are far more liberals on this site than conservatives or republicans. More does not necessarily mean there opinions are more valuable or true than the few.
When these extreme leaning people (right or left) get proven wrong they go into defense mode by attacking the person who posted the article as well as the source instead of actually doing the research to find out if the source was credible or not on their own. They rarely even mention the contents the article is about. Is this laziness or is this just their way of debating?. A lot of these people don't contribute anything of substance that pertain to the article being talked about and instead just post a comment that attacks a person in another comment just because they don't like the opinion or the person who's comment they attack. Those are the ones that believe that anybody else's opinion is absolutely wrong even if it is actually right. I believe the term used for such people are called Trolls. And there are many on Newsvine as their are on other blogsites.
Some here can see through the lies and deceptions clearly, including some of those on the left. There are more than likely a lot more on the left that side more with the right (or conservatives) but will not for fear of being mocked or alienated by their leftist peers. Those will just not comment at all if the subject is too revealing. I can't say that I blame them. This goes for both sides of course.
Those are the enlightened ones who along with their enlightened brethren in the center prefer to show proof of their positions by posting links to the evidence that they base their information from. The very links that the others refuse to open and read. Most of those enlightened people do research from various different outlets on the Internet not just to find something that proves their point but from places that have the most credible information that is available and verifiable at the time. These people are the ones singled out by other posters for attack by inults through insinuation, harrassment and stalking in order to get around the rules that Newsvine has in place as well as collapsing the coments or articles just because they don't like them. I expect to get a lot of flack from the left on this but someone had to write about what is going on there. I wrote this article there and did a little tweaking to it to post it here for clarity.
Just to let others know, I am an Independent. It is time to stop the above mentioned tactics and get our country going back in the right direction regardless of petty differences. Right now we are self destructing and the partisan politics needs to stop. Political correctness is the worst enemy to a free Republic. Our media cannot be relied on anymore and that is true no matter what political point of view one may have. If we don't pull together we will lose every right we have and become a Socialist nation and the freedoms we have will be lost forever.
Here is a perfect example of a site that ommitted information and claimes it did not exist when is actually did.

It has links within links going to the proper places to show this actually happened. It is my opinion that most of those reading this article will not take the time to dig deeper. It is so much easier to claim the article is another right wing nut piece spread by Rush followers.
For the sake of continuity I left the opening paragraph below to lay the ground rules on the comments.
As usual the code of honor will be enforced. Even though political correctness is something I dislike, the rules of this site have to be adhered to. Derogatory terms such as Tbags, Demothugs, Republithugs or any variation will be deleted regardless if it is on topic in order to keep tempers from flaring causing derails. Use common sense please. You are welcome to repost it without the derogatory connotations if your comment gets deleted. Your opinion is welcome as long as it pertains to the point of the article and not an attack on another poster. Posts that get deleted can be taken up with the vine moderators, (when and if they decide to grace this article since they are overloaded with the Beta site).
I am an American citizen and I approve this message! Violators will be prostituted. (pun intended)
A lot of truth in what you are saying.
