It is important for you, as a voter, to be able to identify and respond to misinformation and its variations. First, we often speak of “misinformation” collectively, but there are three major types:…

  • Below is the surprising post by councilor Leming. Surprising because the independent candidates have not engaged in false statements or about aligning with any particular group.

  • From Melanie’s facebook site – https://www.facebook.com/TringaliforMedford Melanie’s official web site – https://www.tringaliformedford.com/ Yesterday at City Hall, I overheard a young woman asking about her parking tickets.
