F.I.R.T?

It seems DU might, during these tumultuous and stressful times, make good use of a variant on MIRT. I propose it be called "FIRT", the F standing for FUD. Or, perhaps "FLIRT", the F & L standing for Fear & Loathing.

IOW's things are now bad enough based on the facts - we don't need to make it worse based on misinformation and speculation or, IMO deliberate attempts in some circumstances i.e. AGIPROP (Agitation Propaganda) to rile folks up.
