I don't know if it is good or bad...

... that this is showing up in Google News. Good, because it debunks lies about Hillary in a venue visited by millions. Bad in that I've never even heard most of these lies, and from what I see on DU, a LOT of people just don't read all of the text of stories like this. They might just skim and think these are all true!! What do you think?

Not sure what you're getting at by posting this since the main title on the link says, "7 Hillary Clinton quotes on the Internet that are complete fakes"

What's your concern exactly?

It's good to get the truth out there. It might influence some. Sadly, there are also some who would rather believe a lie that to hear the truth.
