The Natural News is a well known crank site that caters to paranoid schizophrenics. The whole purpose of the site is to break down your resistance to truth and reality and convince you to buy their junk products like colloidal silver. The whole right side of the site is layers of ads for quack products.

I know a few things about source analysis.

Do you have anything to say about the article ?

It lists four examples. What do you think of each? :D

No because it is not worth the effort and brain power to read through what the person is trying to say, and then refresh my memory as to why that particular nugget is nonsense. Click around that site for yourself and draw your own conclusions. Do a search on Natural News and Mike Adams and maybe pepper the search with words like "Fraud" or "Hoax" or "Conspiracy" and feel free to read what others have already taken the time to document and refute about the site. You will see plenty of information as to what and why the site is junk, and much more detailed analysis of such things as Natural New's belief that vaccinations are a conspiracy of the highest level between the government, big pharma, and dastardly scientists who sold their souls to perpetuate control of the population.

I like the RationalWiki and I believe they have a very comprehensive section on Mike Adams and the Natural News site. Maybe start there. Good luck.

I strongly recommend that you take my course on source analysis. :D

And while you're saving time, it was a very short article. You could have read it all and listed your views sort of like this.

  1. Definitely true.

  2. Definitely true.

  3. Probably true but reasonably debatable.

  4. Incredibly false.

Now, was that so hard? :)

Or I could tell you to fuck off and move on with my day.

"Source analysis?" What are you even talking about? Why would I want to take a course from an annoying irritant such as yourself?

This is an amazing response. Thank you!

Who's possibly qualified to do their own research on the internet? Everyone has medical student syndrome .

So... Lizard people are real?

Probably not.

That is just one theory the media jumped on, to make those who claim things like the Vatican pulls shady back door deals with world leaders, 9-11 was a coordinated event between government agents, Nazis used fluoride to make the populous more docile, The gulf of tonkin and other fairly believable conspiracies into "wack jobs tin foils"

Not many who have researched the conspiracies believe "lizard people" are real. Helps the smear campaign to lump true conspiracy believers in with the lizard people crowd though.

It worked on you.

This sounds like the exact response a Lizard person would make.

Global warming is not Science because it's not falsifiable.

If it were, there would be climate models that can accurately back-cast.

Jesus effig Christ. You know what the conspiracy is? There isn't one.

The media can melt steel beams using only kerosene and lies.
