“Almost all of us have been a victim of accidentally spreading fake news at one time.”
I confess. I’ve fallen for one or two fake stories. I (briefly) believed that Obama was a natural born citizen, that he was the smartest man ever to run for the presidency, and even that he was a patriot. Anyone can fall for the most absurd story if we put too much faith in what’s on the Internet.

Internet interaction can be the very opposite of well considered thinking. What else, even this very form into which I type at this moment, is such an open door for knee jerking and keyhole views of reality?
Maybe one of the internet’s accomplishments will be to teach us the folly of depending on it too much, in the manner of how, in the manner described in the book of Daniel, people will “go to and fro looking for wisdom.”
Donald Trump is certainly using old fashioned means of interacting with people. He didn’t email President Nieto of Mexico, he visited him. He’s visiting Detroit, not asking for petitions to be filled out online. Yes, Donald goes on Twitter, but that’s not nearly everywhere he goes.
and I think this is appropriate here.
