Just to summarize the facts in this convoluted affair: Hagel did attend the Greene funeral. Obama and Biden did not. Nixon did not attend the Dillard funeral, and Bush did not attend the Maude funeral. There is no "tradition" of presidential attendance at generals' funerals that Obama "bucked." The Hagel misinformation (passed on erroneously by me) came from Drachenberg's tweet, amplified in the Legal Insurrection post. The Nixon and Bush misinformation was a deliberate falsehood spread by Davis.

There are several lessons to be drawn from the affair. The first, and most important, is to be skeptical about everything one sees on the Internet and make a good-faith effort to ensure that information one passes on is accurate. I will certainly redouble my efforts on that score in the future. The second lesson is that when one makes a mistake, correct it as quickly as possible, more than once if necessary. And the final lesson, narrower but still important, is: Never trust a word Morris Davis says; it might be "sarcasm."

We all should. Too many lies being passed around as truths. Too many people are too lazy to check for facts. They will beleive almost anything if it conforms to their beliefs.

Many people are oblivious to what is happening in the world. Duck Dynasty, Bad Girls Club, Teen mom, etc. don't discuss current topics.

One of my favorite tongue in cheek segments is Watter's World on O'Reilly. He does a very fun segment with movie drop ins. I know they pick the best of the best in footage but some of it shows how uninformed people are.

I guess the moral of the story is that Byron York, a left-wing hack, is a really lazy and poor journalist?

How about this?

Byron York, an establishment Republican, is a hack and bad, lazy journalist?

I can't stand the guy.
