Fake News
I like my news real even when I don’t like the news.
Consequently, I really like the daily Schwartz Report put out by Stephan Schwartz.
Today, he featured a quote from a letter Abraham Lincoln wrote to a guy named Elkins. The quote features a prediction of doom that precisely matches the conditions we face today of yielding direction of US society to corporate interests.
Great quote I thought for a millisecond. Wait. Doesn’t sound right.
Snopes has the story behind the forged quote.
Now if we only had Snopes to sniff out fake drug and medical device statistics, and profit- rather than patient-driven clinical guidelines — wouldn’t that be nice.
