I swear, I don't know what to believe anymore that gets thrown out on the internet, even the TV

REB — 11/3/2005 8:57:30 PM (archived)

There are so many bogus â€˜storiesâ€™ going out. So many â€œso-and-so said thisâ€, when so-and-so did not say that. There are too many partisan hacks who throw lies out there to hurt the other side, it is hard to know what to believe (Not accusing RL of this- he is just passing on what he found).

I have to see it from several sources, and it has to be out there for a while before I will believe it.
