News and Media
Will Truth Rise Again?
(MediaChannel.org)
Today, we live in two worlds of news and information. One is "fact based," the other "faith-based." In the former, we cling to a world of objective reporting and verifiable evidence even as we know how facts are skewed by media outlets with undisclosed agendas; in the latter, we only acknowledge facts that support our opinions and often don't let facts get in the way of a "good argument"... you can't trust what you first hear or how it is spun... This is going on every day. Incomplete stores, tilted accounts, distorted news. It's not just that some journalists today are on the government payroll. The rot in our corporate media goes deeper. Much deeper. Propaganda, thy name is: "mainstream media." But I have this gut feeling that most people really don't want to hear the truth about things. Filtered "truth" is much easier to digest, even as a world of lies crumbles all around you.
