...bashing the ones who pull "facts" out of thin air...
But pulling facts out of my ass is still okay, right? If you take that away from me, this wouldn't be a real online debate, anymore!
I like the idea of a true, formal debate taking place online. I'm not sure how'd you'd do the fact checking, though. What would qualify as a "good source"? Its gotten to the point that if you provide a URL as a reference, I'm likely to dismiss it no matter where it points to. And that includes the news sites, because they don't always get it right and when they get it wrong they're often hesistant to do a proper retraction.
