In the case of these extreme right wing sites that make up crap, twist
and shout to make a case based on nonsense (sorta like Iraq), you
better believe I completely mistrust them.

If you wish. Some left wing sites are probably a LOT less reliable and
I'd be less inclined to believe them--if they espoused a lot of
conspiracy theories for example.

Now, Steve!! You may be right but it is incumbent upon you to be the
one to provide the source--if you have time and/or come across another
source that isn't from the extreme right, pass it along. I'm a little
crazed for work or I'd look for it. (Anyway, your site was about
Japan, not France.) It may just be a lie that people like the Fraser
Institute spread and other right wing extremists pick up and run with.
