Thanks for looking into this David, and I hope you're feeling better :)

The thing that gets a wry smile out of me with right-wing bullshit-peddlers, is that they usually have to resort to *tricking* people into believing they're legitimate. This Dreaneen guy and his disinformation site is a great example of how, so often, there's subterfuge about who they really are - the Taxpayer's "Union" also comes to mind. I wish their followers would just pause to think about that for a second. If they have to lie and trick people right from the start, what does that say about them?

What is this wizardry. You wanted to write a story about a disinformation website, you wrote a brief pointedly passive-aggressive e-mail to the founder of the said website... and then old mate decided to write your article for you. Love it. That somehow seems like cheating.

Side-note - that argument about MSM NOT COVERING stuff is so frustrating. You can clearly point out how mainstream media does cover things and it just does nothing to the original accuser. Maybe 3 times, before I got sick of it, when I saw a claim like this I would quickly google and then paste in all the MSM sites which cover a certain topic. Each time, the moronic complainant would just be like... "nah". My rage would erupt and I would feel beaten. Just writing about it now annoys me. This was not a side-note. Thanks for another great read, so glad I subscribed.
