An editorial was published by Teen Vogue yesterday with this title. Its author Lauren Duca did herself proud. It is better than anything I've read in either the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times in the past year. I probably shouldn't be surprised both because of the sorry state of our "hard" news reporting in this country and the fact that other "fluff" outlets like People Magazine have been doing a better job of fact-checking than have traditional news outlets of late.
You should read it. And one of its internal links features this writing on how to spot false and misleading information. Seriously, Teen freaking Vogue is doing a better job at educating readers than the NY f'ing Times.
What a sad world.
