I'm writing in response to Sunday's angry questioning of yet another blunder by President Barack Obama.

The writer questioned why he would lend Brazil $3 billion when that money is badly needed here.

I spend significant time returning this type of email to the sender with the fact-checked correction.

Most of the time it is caused by the sender listening to only a few conservative talking heads and avoiding the "tainted mainstream liberal" media.

Much of this information keeps the fact-checking outfits like snopes.com hopping busy. You can avoid much of this anger simply by buffering some of the information obtained from conservatively slanted "news" outlets with factual information from sources such as CNN.

Check out snopes.com's correction on the Brazil loan.
