		Disinfopedia's message is that anyone who has received money from private companies and then defends the free market is a phony-baloney shill and that his arguments therefore do not deserve to be judged on their own merits.
		Disinfopedia is run in a similar fashion, except that its moderators only keep "information" that serves its explicitly leftwing political agenda and refrains from publishing entries that contradict its biases.
		Disinfopedia was founded by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber -- the two-man team that comprises a leftwing advocacy outfit called the Center for Media and Democracy.

	Getting Started on Disinfopedia - Center for Media and Democracy
		Running parallel to every Disinfopedia article is a "talk" page where users can post a critique of an article, make suggestions for improving it, or explain changes that they have made.
		Articles written for the Disinfopedia should strive for a higher standard, by summarizing all evidence and points of view accurately and thoroughly.
		Disinfopedia contributors may come from many different countries and cultures, and have widely different views.

	From "Disinfopedia" to "SourceWatch" - Center for Media and Democracy
		Launched in March 2003, the Disinfopedia has grown rapidly to include more than 6,000 articles about PR firms, think tanks, industry-friendly experts and many of the other individuals and institutions that play an important role in shaping public opinion and public policies.
		Along the way, however, we began to hear complaints about the name, which some people felt sounded too "paranoid." Others pointed out that as the Disinfopedia grew, it came to include a range of people and organizations, some of which are indeed guilty of deceptive practices, but not all.
		Instead of the words "total information awareness," the logo proclaimed that we were seeking "total disinformation awareness." It seemed at the time like a fun inside joke, but after it went up, the emails that arrived in our office helped us realize that the joke wasn't obvious to all of our readers.

		We call it the "Disinfopedia." Among other things, it is an experiment in citizen journalism, using web-based "wiki" technology that invites visitors to not just read the information they find there, but to also edit and add to it.
		We like to think that the Disinfopedia is one reason why, unlike cable TV, the print reporting on this topic has been relatively good.
		What the experience demonstrated, though, is that when a forum like the Disinfopedia requires contributors to present evidence and logic in support of their political positions, right-wing attackers are left helpless.

		--- Das Anti-Propaganda-Wiki Disinfopedia (betrieben vom Center for Media and Democracy) hat an seinem Namen selbst mal ein wenig herumgesponnen und hört nun auf den Titel SourceWatch (eventuell auch inspiriert von den ganzen Mediawatchern und Watchblogs).
		Zur Begründung schreibt Sheldeon Rampton von der Nichtregierungsorganisation: Launched in March 2003, the Disinfopedia has grown rapidly to include more than 6,000 articles about PR firms, think tanks, industry-friendly experts and many of the other individuals and institutions that play an important role in shaping public opinion and public policies.

	Will Wilkinson / The Fly Bottle
		It's a wiki apparently published by the Center for Media and Democracy, the sort of left wing organization dead sure that there is indeed a vast right wing conspiracy (and of course there is!).
		Anyway, Disinfopedia collects info on corporate shills, PR firms, think tanks, and other sundry sources of "disinformation".
		My guess is that for US society starting today, it's possible to get significantly more libertarian, but not radically more libertarian.
