Media Matters names "Misinformation of the Year"

[Sparkly]

They explain that they usually name a "Misinformer of the Year," but this year decided to name "Misinformation of the Year" instead.

As Media Matters has documented throughout this year, speech that targets or casts in a negative light race, gender, religion, ethnicity, national origin, and sexual orientation can be found throughout the media, and it often bears directly on politics and policy. That speech has earned the title of Misinformation of the Year 2007.

This is a very good compendium! Race or national origin, gender, religion, and sexual identity or orientation... It's amazing what rightwingers say.

4. Hate speech is popular. Let's not give it any attention on this forum.

5. Burying our heads in the sand won't make hate speech go away

It needs to be exposed and vilified so that people will know there are consequences for using hate speech.
