I second the disclaimer at the end of USPUNEWS. "Disclaimer:



There is much disinformation and misinformation ‘out there’. I do not have the time to check the credentials of every writer that I place in Unspun, so please be aware that your discrimination, used in parallel with your open-minded intellect, is your best friend - ALL the time!

All the TIME!!! Connect the dots on high-profile news stories. Figure out what makes sense in light of probable motives. For example, who profits most from requiring people to submit to inoculations and vaccinations?
