When in doubt, check it out

This was reported by Michael Falcone yesterday in the New York Times:

A new web site created by the Obama team, called “Fight the Smears,” is designed to systematically dismantle Internet rumors by letting users see both “the smear” and, the campaign’s response. The site already features sections fact-checking rumors that Mr. Obama refuses to say the pledge of allegiance, or has written racially incendiary remarks into his books or that he is a Muslim.

Recommend this to your friends and colleagues who seem to believe everything they read on the Internet.
