Should people believe the media ???

Or their own common sense ? These are 3 videos I'd like to share on that subject and an important issue related to it.

NOTE: Since the subject can be a sensitive one, and generate plenty of ideas/views, I would like to urge EVERYONE posting to stay respectful and polite.

Keep in mind everyone has the right for an opinion, even if it is a belief.

If you don't think you can stay within the common sense rules, its best not to post at all.

That's reasonable admin ... and I agree. Mainly just posting to keep this in the top results for awhile. But its a serious question ... I think alot of people have similar concerns.

Thats Horrible. But how do you know this?

I wouldn't believe the media if you paid me. Corporations own media outlets, and they are all concerned with the bottom line first and foremost. And in media, the bottom line means ratings. They don't care about the truth, they just want you to watch.

I also suggest people should post a careful subjects regarding this topic.

Media can be wrong a lot of times. This doesn't mean that media lies. They just fail to show both sides of the picture.

Well, there are lies everywhere, so it would be wise to put everything through yourself, and then decide if that's true or false

Actually, leaving out or omitting information, is a lie.

"Lying by omission
One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. An example is when the seller of a car declares it has been serviced regularly but does not tell that a fault was reported at the last service. Propaganda is an example of lying by omission."

To answer the original question, no, I don't believe everything the media says. For one, each media outlet has there own 'spin' on what's news. I visit several sources before I make conclusion. Most of the time, I can 'smell' when somethings off.

Still, with the information presented in the initial post, I have one question that has yet to be answered since the whole conspiracy idea came about. To elaborate, Bush has often been criticized for being the dumbest president the US has ever had. While many would agree with that, I still wonder how someone so 'dumb' could be behind or somehow be in charge of the powers that conjured up the 9/11 myth. Either he's dumb or the greatest con man that has ever walked the Earth. Which one is it?
