Can we believe what we hear from news networks?

Question

Can we trust what ever see or hear from medias for instance muslim planned london airport bombing or isreal death toll???

Answer 1

The media is in a constant battle to manufacture consent. If they grind us down day after day after day with stories about the axis of evil, the threat from terror, and so forth we eventually become convinced that this manufactured view of reality is in fact real. This leads us to cower in fear and allow politicians to get away with murder and strip us of our civil liberties in the name of security.

And as for the worst of the bunch - Fox News, no you cannot believe how they report matters - Murdoch has an agenda, and Fox is his mouthpiece. Personally I tend to follow BBC coverage, but none of them are free from massive spin and bias. You have to read between the lines, or consult alternative press to get a genuine picture of what is going on.

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security,deserve neither liberty or security" - Benjamin Franklyn

""What luck for rulers that the people they administer do not think" - Adolf Hitler

"Who controls the past, Controls the future. Who controls the present, Controls the past." - George Orwell

"The citizens job is to be rude--to pierce the comfort of professional intercourse by boorish expressions of doubt." - John Ralston Saul

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Göring(Nazi) 1946 Nuremberg Trials

Answer 2

The networks are in business to make money and they will only report the part of the story that will gain interest from the public. If the story is not sensational enough or compelling enough they will not tell it, even if it is an important detail of a more compelling story.

Answer 3

Can you differentiate between ghost stories with reality?
Can you analyse the problems or just point the finger at others.
