What are good methods to fight bullshit at work? Conversely, what are the bad methods to fight bullshit at work?

EDIT: Let say it's not in the company DNA and that it's just some individuals behaviours.

Is the bullshit built into the company's DNA? Some places I have worked have certain varieties of bullshit that have basically become company truths. If this is the case, then you really aren't going to fight it.

Let say it's not and that it's just some individuals behaviours, in a relatively good company culture.

Its basically a rally the troops moment. One person can screw with a lot of people, so you probably need to work with others to stop any outbreak.

I assume we aren't talking a technical argument. If we are, then do a presentation and it will all come out in the Q&A.
