While it's possible that "Logical Fallacies" might merit a topic of its own, for now, in the context of SourceWatch, I don't see that it requires separation from "Propaganda techniques"; though ... a cause ... of course ... may arise ;-} -- Maynard 23:04 30 Mar 2003 (EST)


I removed reference to 'spambot' as a propaganda technique, based upon this common definition of spambot: A spambot is a robot that specializes in gathering email addresses for a spammer to use. It basically follows links and saves any email addresses it finds as it goes along. A spambot usually gathers emails from the web or from usenet, but may also gather it from other sources.[1]

Planting press article" was duplicated, so I removed one of the duplicates.

"Disinformation" had numerous grammar errors that I corrected, but the second paragraph is a jumble that mystified me. It makes no sense as is. Anyone have a clue?

I don't understand the "push poll" entry at all. Should it be revised?

What about 'astroturfing' as a propganda technique? I see you have an article about it on the site but it's not in the list on this page.
