People will believe anything they read on the internet.  Don’t believe me?  Then you must not have email, Facebook or Twitter.

The latest and greatest is the endangered tree octopus — a hoax that’s been around since 1998.  It got new life this week and is being used to show that the interent is at fault for dumbing down our children.

Children?

And I would welcome a debate on whether the Internet is more insidious than Fox News at dumbing down our population.

Oh yeah — and CNN and ABC and NBC and CBS and MSNBC and …..

American media.
