It depends.
It's a bad day when the so-called professional press corps refuses to do a hard hitting fact check on the power brokers that have crippled our rights in Washington.
Perhaps you missed this, but our Congress today refused to undue the damage that the drug companies did to our medical drug plan. No competitive bidding? Heaven forbid!
I tend to keep Wikipedia and YouTube in perspective, unlike most undiscriminating folks who complain about the content of those sources.
I'd rather trust what I find there than anything that the Drudge Report has 'published' lately.

hahaha... wikis about 5 times more accurate than half the things I see some citing... but it can be dangerous, granted
newsmax or moveon are laughable...
youtube is pretty silly though...

Sure looks like it. People will swallow ANYTHING they see- on here... :( And the SAD thing about it is- way TOO MANY people are not smart enough to know the difference!
