Kenya Election 2012: Unicorns, Kenyans and everything else

Quote:
David and Barbara Mikkelson, who operate the fact-checking, myth-busting site known as snopes.com, have concluded that people are rather cavalier about their facts. The California couple is not particularly political, and they don’t relish taking on all the nonsense written online about politics. They see a cyber world in which both ardent liberals and conservatives reject the nuance of public policy and facts that contradict one’s point of view. “Especially in politics, most everything has infinite shades of gray to it, but people just want things to be true or false,” David Mikkelson told the New York Times in 2010.
