Propaganda

Mark Twain said it best, "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed."

This short video shows why it's hard to trust the media. You really have to see it. It chronicles the way Reuters, the New York Times, and Newsweek (among others) have run staged, mis-labeled, or doctored photos to hurt Israel in its fight against terrorism.

You might wonder whose side these people are on; I think they've answered the question.

Great video-- very informative.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that a lot of reporters will do anything to get their names on the front page. It's sad, but that's "yesterday's news". The part that's even worse is how the general public will blindly believe everything they read. People are too busy to dig a little deeper and cross check details. Thanks for providing informative posts like this one that put items like mainstream news into perspective.
