It's common to see articles claiming to "debunk" one thing or another.
Something true can never really be debunked, of course, although the claim is often made.
Too often the "debunking" consists of smearing believers and performing a shallow analysis that ignores any information which undermine the debunking case.
Very rarely does a "debunking" achieve what it sets out to do. Instead, they are often just a propaganda piece used to attack rival views and shore up support for their own, rather than any noteworthy piece of investigative journalism.
