Everything the U.S. government does is a war. The 'Information War'? How fucked up is that way of thinking? The War on Poverty, The War on Drugs, The Information War, they all fail because war is a negative way to think of how to solve anything.

@rockcityfunk Older Americans are brainwashed. Younger generation isn't. Give us time. We'll fix it.

Fuck Fox News I rather watch RT and CCTV.

"I've seen it... it's quite instructive" So informing people is a loss to you, Hillary? Of course it is!

There is no place for democracy or free information in USA anymore. Problem is that USAs past good idealities are long gone. Reason of actions are money.

In war the first casualty is truth.

Cliton exposes her secret support for Al FoxJeera.

@Gene4God I'm not sure what do you mean by that. But if you refer to biased sources, an intelligent person, given enough sources independent of another, can extract credible information with some accuracy. It's no different that eliminating erroneous data from data set, commonly practiced on technical studies.

Given only one source, even Einsten couldn't do that.

@phocjame ...Al Jazeera when it comes to Middle East and I don't even trust BBC when it comes to UK. Best sources are always ones that have no direct interest in information they carry.

[Ahmeni]

@phocjame Only independent media is Internet. That is why US gov is trying to control it - it's all within policy stated by Hilary. And even those aren't unbiased. Objectivity is an idealized condition, not present in real world. That is why it's essential to use as many sources as possible. But not being 100% objective doesn't mean source is part of propaganda, and frankly all large TV and press take part in propaganda. I never really trust CNN when it comes to USA, nor I trust...
