Can you believe everything you read?

If it's on the internet beware. Even print publications can be duped by people with grudges into writing things can leave the reader with inaccurate impressions of someone or something. The internet can be a great aid to research and information. But if the reader simply believes anything and everything lives can be harmed. Reputations destroyed! Ask yourself just because someone said it does that make it true? Understand most people have motives or angles on what they write, and maybe readers should think about what the writers motive might be for writing what they wrote. Any set of facts can be twisted to suit the writers goals. So when you read something consider what the writers goals might have been.
