The concern about misinformation on the Internet, radio and television is real. I admit to being a nervous Nelly about "official" judgement to determine the worth of any content. Standards to weigh the honesty of information that comes to us via the Internet, in print, television or even in conversation are not always workable. The question is what if anything do we do about it?
The answer is we are our own censors. We choose not to accept anonymous or offensive messages on the Internet. We push the delete button. We choose not to hear or watch information which is less than reliable. We push the off button . We choose to read something that is less then honest. We line the kitty litter with it.
Neither law nor official decree can do for us what we can do for ourselves or like Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy and they are us."
