While I agree that misinformaion is disturbing, we should be careful
not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.  Virtually every
report and article contains *some* misinformation, even if we only
discover it years later.  The secret is to determine what informaion
is reliable and valid versus what is not.  The internet is a
veritable trap for problems of this sort.
