It seems that some "facts" are churned out faster than can be verified, with errors being tweeted or rushed onto television as "breaking news" without all the information.

Komen, Virginia, "Disruptive Innovation," and #shrm12

True Faith HR

Several months ago, like many, I was transfixed by the decision at the Susan B.
