Default Re: Is American Major Media Telling Us The Truth?

Propaganda has been a big part of pretty well any successful government since newspapers became commonplace. We just don't call it 'propaganda' anymore...it's just 'the news'.

To a certain extent, what a person reports will always be colored by their opinions and perspectives - but that's simply the nature of journalism. However, when the facts being provided by the government (anything from local law enforcement all the way to the White House) tend to have less to do with reality and more to do with a desired effect - that's when the media becomes more of a tool for them than an informative method for you.
