Hi I don't mind being misrepresented to introduce an interesting response and citation. But just for the record, the following referred to the DELIBERATE misrepresentation of information. That of course feeds into the selective use of information by providing grounds for people to selectively attend to what turns out to be false information. That indeed may be part of the strategy of deliberate misinformation ... it muddies the waters at the very least, and is often very difficult to completely overcome. Take care Jim James M.

I quoted his claim simply because it goes beyond attempts to propagandize; and, if truth be told, was a better intro to what I wanted to say (I, too, can misrepresent what others say, eh?).
