Duh, "He who wins the war, writes history"...
They ALL fuckin' give their opinion on the stories they report. Very few sources of NEWS these days.. They all just give different slants on the same story. News should be new...but it generally isn't.
So they lie, big fuckin' deal. The human race generally lies, its not NEWS. Not worried 'bout Tony or Bush or Osama, more worried about where my paycheck is comin' from.

If you watch C-SPAN you can watch events live--without commentary. In fact, at first I was annoyed when the reporters didn't point things out to people calling in or speaking on the show--then I got used to it. So now I value non-commentary and hope that people will make informed decisions--based on their own conclusions and not according to a particular framework the information was presented within.
I often wonder if people actually understand the amount of research that has been conducted for the purposes of understanding and manipulating people, their motivations, and their understandings.
