As an investigative journalist and confirmed skeptic, I made it a rule to ‘read between the lines’ when I do my in-depth research for articles we post on this website, as well as to fact-check them with all available sources that could corroborate and verify information before I share it with anyone—in print, classroom or public presentations.

And just like access to and all information posted on FreeRangeClub.com, access to this and future links is completely FREE.
