Do you believe everything you read on the internet

I have been running across articles ranging in subjects: technical articles on DIY, on what makes a good cable, what makes a good speaker design, etc.

Problem is many of these articles seem to have erroneous, misleading, false, or downright decietful facts contained within them.

It seems like anyone with an opinion and access to a webpage builder can put out any kind of info they want.

Anyone ever experienced this? When was the first time that you realized not all the info you were coming across was accurate?

I posted two threads last night and I'm surprised they took off so fast. But wait a second... pro wrestling is fake?

Anyone have any nominations for most asinine audio webpage? I think i gotta go with fmtunerinfo where nothing ever compares to a 1970's Kenwood (btw I use one too), despite which tuner they have in their listening tests.

There is a guy with a major chip and axe to grind... but then again, Stereophile never has reviewed Shelter (as far as I know); and Fremer was a total jerk to the guy. It's too bad the guy has such a 'tude b/c buried under the ravings are some valid points. I've also noticed TNT often has little factual errors and technical faux pauxs, but nothing major usually. The reviewers on 6moons are weird in their own way, but not evil.
