DON’T GET TAKEN IN! TIPS FOR ANALYZING NEWS SOURCES
AVOID WEBSITES THAT END IN “LO”. Example: Newslo. These sites take pieces of accurate information and package it with other false or misleading “facts” (sometimes for the purposes of satire or comedy). AVOID WEBSITES THAT END IN “.COM.CO”. They are often fake versions of real news sources. ARE REPUTABLE NEWS SITES REPORTING THE STORY? There should typically be more than one source on a story. ODD DOMAIN NAMES…generally equals odd and rarely truthful news. LACK OF AUTHOR

Summer 2018 - Message from our Club President
Dear Democrats of the Desert members and friends, You and I are wildly frustrated, angry, upset, and justifiably frightened by news this week and recently from DC and our borders. What can we do as individuals and as a club ? What the heck can Democrats do ? I want you to know a little about what you have DONE.
