In no way, shape or form do they give us the whole truth. It's even worse when someone is in office that they don't support. They do everything in their power to make that person look bad. They don't give you both sides of the story or only tell you part of what's going on. News really isn't news, it's propaganda and biased opinions. The news convicts people before they have a trial and I've even seen stories where they declare people insane or whatever when the lawyer hasn't even filed that. News and facts can't even be said in the same sentence.
NO news is good news!!

TV goes where they can get their cameras. This often gives the ability to show both the good and bad of the US and our allies, while only being able to show what their opponents want to be seen. The truth gets distorted in the sense that everything cannot be shown.
The truth is going to be distorted whether or not that is the reporter's intention, because the whole truth is not available to them.

TV (media) shows only things that draw the most attention for their watchers. How many times have you seen any of our guys helping those people over there? I haven't seen anything myself but would be willing to bet that they're assisting in any way they can like we did during other wars. You are more apt to see a GI with a gun in his hand watching a crowd rather the one handing candy to a bunch of kids.

They show the stuff that is going to draw ratings. Shock value reporting. Opening up a new grocery store or school in Iraq doesn't get any air time. Cheers to all the service men and women from around the world.

OK, where are the pictures of the bodies of 242 Marines being removed from the rubble of their barracks, after being blown up by Hezbollah, in Beirut??

I've heard it said, "believe about half of what you hear on TV/radio/newspapers, the other half is lies and deception". This world is run by the desperately wicked Illuminati who control all governments, and own all major media.

Do you think the media shows us the truth about anything? If so you are sadly misinformed

it's all about the ratings if they don't think it's going to boost rating then they will not put it on the air....so don't put your trust in the networks....it's best to search the net and make sure your source doesn't support any side.
