But screw the folks who tell you to "buck up". They're wrong.
They're not. Asking for someone else to "curate" and pre-chew your info is a mistake. It's the siren song of the MSM where you're expected to sit back and passively soak up the program. Train yourself to parse logic and evidence and you'll be ready to face everything on the World Wide Web. It's a crucial skill in today's info-war environment. Besides - creating a "truth committee" would put a target on their back for co-option.
If this is citizen journalism then it has to produce content useful to investigators and reporters, and not a pile of crap for them to wade through
The sticky can do that. Everything else should be Wild West - obvious shilling removed but everything else left to sink or swim on the strength of evidence and reason.
