More and more people are abandoning the mainstream media and turning to the "alternative" media, including websites such as rense.com and prisonplanet.com. Apparantly, the elite are getting a little uneasy.

"How to Identify Misinformation

How can a journalist or a news consumer tell if a story is true or false? There are no exact rules, but the following clues can help indicate if a story or allegation is true.

-Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory?
-Does the story fit the pattern of an “urban legend?”
-Does the story contain a shocking revelation about a highly controversial issue?
-Is the source trustworthy?
-What does further research tell you?"

"Pot, Kettle, Black: State Department Tells Us How to Identify Misinformation

We all need to be extremely grateful that the State department has it's own advice section on what we should and should not believe. I for one find it incredibly difficult to believe straight facts, even when they put the government in a bad light. Thank goodness that everything the government does and says is accurate. It is important to have a bench mark of truth against which we can formulate our beliefs.

...More and more people are turning off the TV and coming to us for their news because they know what we report is more accurate and better researched.

This is why they are desperately trying to crack down on the Internet and the free press, passing laws in order that they can deem any anti-government stance as hate speech. It's time to see through THEIR misinformation and turn off their false transmissions. WE are the majority, WE are the mainstream, WE identify the misinformation."
