t r u t h o u t | The Politics of Lying and the Culture of Deceit in Obama's America: The Rule of Damaged Politics
Lies and deceit cause the death of democratic politics, critical thought and civic agency. Contempt for 'truth' is evident in the wild West of FOX News.

You're going to have a lot of conversations around something -- have conversations about content, collaboration, and people," says Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext.
