Disinfopedia Wiki vs Swift Boat Vets for Truth

Last year we launched the Disinfopedia, a "wiki" website designed to mobilize hundreds of volunteers to help us investigate and expose front groups and propaganda campaigns. The Disinfopedia is an experiment in participatory investigative journalism, and the experiment seems to be succeeding. One recent example is the Disinfopedia listing for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Not only is the Disinfopeda entry on the group extensive, up to date and well documented, it's being widely read by thousands daily and it appears at or near the top in Google. There will always be propaganda and deception, but Disinfopedia is proving a powerful tool for getting to the truth. We invite you to help us to research, edit and write the Disinfopedia; click here to learn how to get started.
