Is the Press being used?

A thought provoking question. I have been highly critical of the Press and thier news or the lack thereof that be in the public interest being vital to the security of this nation to have an educated public. Maybe I've been too quick to judge so harshly, as I have to come to realize thru the past years that our enemies have also USED ME to pervert and twist my words in addition to outright lying about me. Or omitting certain parts of a truth to make it seem the opposite or something different than what the truth is. We've all had these encounters on the net with what I call: 'Disinformationists' and 'Propagandists' who have an agenda they want us to agree with, even when it's wrong. They used to say: What you see is what you get. But these days I'd have to say, what we see and hear is not always what and how things are. Fact-check, fact-check, and check again. If necessary.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.

It's easy to get weary of documentaries about the chaos in Iraq, but do make time for this American film, first shown in January. Drawing on testimony from both government officials and military officers, what it unearths is detailed and consistently astonishing.

[Licmycat]

Yes, I think so too. They are always trying to discredit everyone. Have a great night.

I'm sure the press is lied to, as well as the public. Great video. 5stars
