 A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |

July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| Let's try this... Write a blog entry for Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, write about a current event of issue you are strongly in favor of. Then on Sunday, pick a fellow blogger's topic from Saturday, and write your opinion on their topic.  Caitlin Dewey wrote and article titled "Coffee psychopaths and the Jersey Devil" in The Washington Post The article is about the fact that there is an extreme amount of fake news on the internet. How can anyone tell what is true and what is false. One of the highlighted articles is about people who drink black coffee. It said there was a study out that indicates people who drink black coffee are more likely to be psychopaths. The study was debunked of course. Other not true facts brought out in Dewey's article involve, Syrian refugees did not refuse food and water because it came from the Red Cross, "The Jersey Devil does not exist", and others. There were 5 listed parts to the article. Things that Dewey found on the internet that are not true. You can email her if you find "notable fake stuff on the internet at caitlin.dewey@washpost.com. So why is there so much untrue published things on the internet. Do we know? I'm in favor of news that tells us what is fake. apondia#1781748 |
