Is everything on blogs true?

Washington Post media writer Howard Kurtz writes:

"Even ten years ago, false stories, rumors and speculation disguised as knowledge operated in a world of hushed tones, being passed from individual to individual. If a lie was making its way around the world, it at least wasn’t being heard world-wide. The Internet has changed all that. Today, not only can even the most outrageous stories be instantly available to millions of people, they are susceptible to different interpretations. One man’s suggested dress code can become another’s Nazi-like pogrom."

All This Is That, however, wants to thank our contacts within the White House for all the recent breaking stories we have covered, including:
