Bogus emails are dumbing down the world
Quote:
Just last week I saw one that accused Obama of removing the U.S. flag from Air Force One — and replacing it with his campaign logo. "If you have doubt about this message," the email said, "check it out at SNOPES!"
Well, I did. The fact-checkers at Snopes.com said it was a lie.
It took me 5 seconds to find that out.
The senders were counting on recipients to be lazy...and to believe what they wanted.
