Given the new media in all its potentials and glorifications, we find ourselves in a predicament of not having the proper 'nose' for determining the truth. The issue of the sock puppet is one thing of concern, or some might just say the use of aliases for anonymity.
Perhaps there is a better characterization that we need since some PR work can border on disinformation when what we would expect ethically would be misinformation, at worse.
The younger generation likes to talk about things sucking. The evolution of that phrasing has some interest aspects, yet thinking about the same issues in terms of stinking would appeal more to the appropriate intuitions.
That we need to develop various types of 'noses' will be one focus in this blog.
