Taking Away the Limelight from Scumbags

Michelle Cottle says it best: "The End of Andrew Breitbart," on The New Republic website. And here's a quote:

Increasingly no one cares about (or recognizes) the difference between marshalling facts to make your argument and just completely making shit up.

Part of this is because there is SO MUCH INFORMATION out there. I'm reminded of the 2000 novel KILLING TIME by Caleb Carr, set in 2025, when the Internet "remains the main source of information," and much of it is false, yet people in general don't really seem to notice how they're being manipulated.
