Am I the only one feels like the wool is being pulled over our eyes when we watch mainstrem media? Their stories all seem to be based on Hollywood personalities and WoT propaganda and I feel that such stories based on fluff and lies is so sad. Its a tragedy that so many take the news as gosspile too. What a sad state we have developed into.

Only those who watch that crap are having the wool pulled over their eyes. And, that is a minority of people. Most people dont watch that crap.

It's just the New World Order taking control.
I hardly watch the 'Terrorvision' anymore. I get all my news from sources I trust.

I haven't gotten my news from any of the big three for a few years now myself. I just caught the 10 oclock news and it nothing but pandering to peoples fears, no matter how unlikely or just plain untrue. I just feel so empty after watching it and so sad that ALOT of people I work with believe whatever their told from an (official) source. These people I work with also unconditionally believe in the bible and will fight to the death over the belief that the Earth is only 6 thousand years old. So fucking sad.
EDIT: I tried to make fun of these people with my parents a few months back and they informed me that they believed that the Earth was only a few millenium old. I almost fell over but now I just find American education completly fucking sad.

No, you're not the only one. A fair number of us out here are fully aware that we are being fed a diet of lies, propaganda and commercials from those corporations who pretend to give us news. DON'T TRUST THE CORPORATE MEDIA.

Anyone who wants the news in America anymore has to educate him or herself.

The media are often considered the 4th branch of gov't, another check on the three Constitutional branches. However, who is to guard the guardians? They are the gatekeepers. They choose what is news and what isn't. We all know there's much more happening in the world than we are told about...

I honestly don't believe so, if the shoe doesn't fit I don't tend to wear it.
EDIT: I see your good at cutting out parts of quotes though and then responding

Most people in America don't watch or read any news. They couldn't care less about what is occurring around the world, especially young people.

you know - i was on my way to lunch with one of the supervisors in the place that i go to 8 hours day - and he was al in a lather cause the Iranian pres wants to leave a wreath on the 9/11 site. So, against my better judgment I asked "why are you so mad at that?" his unbelievable response was 'Cause it was that fuckers fault that shit happened!!!" Several ppl in the elevator looked at us and agreed with him!?!
Needless to say, I was not in the mood for lunch. So I walked down to ground zero, and stood there for like 3 minutes. - Man, Bush did a number on the American people. OoD
