April Fools Day: Healthy Skepticism
As Amy Gahran points out: April Fools brings a certain skepticism to everything we read. I know I've been duped almost every year since 2004. I almost hate April Fools because the Internet turns into what can only be described as "a silly place."
Still - it's good that we bring a certain skepticism to our reading on April Fools. As this Twitter post explains beautifully, we should remain this critical about what we read every day. I can't imagine better context to pitch NewsTrust in than on a day when even Google is trying to fool us.

Glad you liked it, David. Did you also see that the LA Times switched to an all-wiki format?
