Information Literacy month: and NBC News programmes "fact or fiction"

October is Information Literacy month in the USA.The USA's National Forum on Information Literacy got Barack Obama to endorse the first IL month, and they also have a campaign for USA States to sign up for the month. This is the page for this year: http://infolit.org/october-2013-national-information-literacy-awareness-month/
NFIL also link to a series of short news stories on the NBCNews channel, called Fact or Fiction that aired a couple of weeks ago "our way of making you a better news consumer". You get presented with two news stories and have to decide which one is fact and which one is fiction.  http://www.today.com/allday/fact-or-fiction-join-today-sniffing-out-truth-8C11292898
