Reliability of the video material
Are we satisfied that Mike Caulfield's message is robust here? Do we want to rely on this video? (a) He says that you can't find out AcPEDS true purpose/agenda from their website, so need to go to Wikipedia. However, if you look at the AcPEDS 'About' page, they are pretty open about their stance. (b) It is a long step from being 'socially conservative' to being a 'hate organisation'. Mike declares as a fact in his video that they are a hate organisation - presumably on the basis of some claims reported (but not stated as fact) in the last para of the Wikipedia article. Has he fact-checked those? Is he just exhibiting a socially liberal bias? (c) He seems to be claiming that longevity, mass participation and large amounts of money are reliable indicators of the truthfulness of information put out by an organisation. This would make the websites of many small activist groups unreliable.
