This is a bastion of free speech. This site is a collection of my opinions.
Some people lie for their own personal gain, and call that marketing or salesmanship.
Some lie or misinform for more nefarious reasons. This does not apply to just the Internet . If something doesn't sound right, then check it out. Just because you see it in the press or on TV does not make it true. Many people realize the press is wrong, when it comes to their area of expertise, but then blindly trust the press when it is not their area of expertise.
