Need an article for class that contains "misleading or untrue information"

[Trevelyan]

Yeah I know the P&N forum is one click down, but I was hoping to avoid discussions on Bush and the Radical Right.

Anyone have anything slightly less controversial? Maybe like an iPod ad?

 

[Mo0o]

Pick a random article from FOX News

*runs and hides*

 

[BigJ]

www.commondreams.org

Pick about anything from there

 

[nakedfrog]

What about Dan Rather's article?

 

[GasX]

Second hand smoke is bad for you!

 

[Trevelyan]

Hmm... commondreams.org is pretty good but I'm looking for something a little more obviously misleading without neccessarily delving into the political realms.

Pick any thread started by RIPRORIN.

Rent Penn & Teller's Bullshit!

Any one of those episodes can be used as a springboard for your paper. Some topics include:

Secondhand Smoke
Talking to the Dead
Alternative Medicine
etc...

Maybe some of the companies listed at the BBB or even bad ones at ResellerRatings.com can lead you on the right path?

Get something about how video games makes kids violent.

Or by Dave. Titles are always misleading/inaccurate vs what links to. Also, statements are pulled out of context to emphasize his views.

You do not have to enter into P&N, just look in.
