1. There used to be a "Propaganda Debunking" forum, but it didn't survive the transition to DU4

List of retired forums: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1317

It didn't have much traffic.

One problem was that when someone posted some RW talking point and asked for help debunking it, and even if that person posted some counter-info to it, they were still on dangerous ground as alertable for posting RW material (and juries don't see what forum a post is posted in, so as far as they know, it could have been posted in GD or any of more than 100 other forums).

Good idea though.

More than a decade ago there was an effort to establish a Liberal Wiki here that would also debunk RW nonsense. That went nowhere.

In my "Economy Stats with links to original sources" in my signature line

I have a section, "Beware the tricks of the economic pundits out there" which also includes a Myths section, but admittedly it's buried under all the other information on this page, and only covers a small subset of economic misinformation.
