Do you believe all the government tells us? Do you think our media could be lying to us?

Answer 1

You should be skeptical of all sources. Don't believe everything anyone says. Look for references and check as many as possible. After a while you get familiar with who's telling the truth and who's lying.

We already caught CBS news with Dan Rather using forged papers, so we know they're dishonest. Newsweek was caught lying and so was Time and CNN. NBC has some problems too. The NY Times is constantly lying, so no one believes them at all anymore. In fact, most of the world is catching on to their deceit. That's why all those I mentioned are failing in the ratings and subscriptions are way down.

It takes a while, but we catch liars and we no longer believe them or listen to anything they say.

Answer 2

Muslims are all evil. They persist with a baby molesting conflict lord. fortuitously maximum Muslims do no longer do what the Quran instructs them to do and combat until anybody is Muslim or feels themselves subdued. The Crusades have been led to via the Muslims and develop into no longer even over faith. The Turkish Empire develop into invading Europe and that they had to be stopped. The Holocaust wasn't carried out via Christians. there is not any such element because of the fact the Aryan Race interior the bible. Nazi Germany's innovations got here from German Paganism. Muslims blow themselves up every day in Muslims worldwide places even while they are basically struggling with one yet another. Muslims could go away united statesa. and Europe and flow decrease back to the middle east the place they might stay although they want. they are no longer dependable to the country.

Answer 3

No I don't believe very much this awful Labour Government tells us - and the Labour leaning media in Scotland aren't much different.

The Herald newspaper is a disgrace compared to the paper it used to be. I just stopped reading it - it wasn't worth the money - the Sun has more impartial journalism!

Answer 4

As with, for example, the Nazis - the majority of the population did not recognise that the information they were receiving was propaganda. Until after the event had passed.

Though we all, thesedays, like to think of ourselves as far more 'worldly' and better equipped to recognise propaganda when we see it - what we all seem to forget is that the 'art' of propaganda itself has evolved - and is as equally intelligent - if not more so - than we are at recognising it!

So, in my view, the one secret weapon that we all have is not something that allows us to realise whether it is true or not - but instead is SALT.

Take a pinch of it everytime you watch or read or listen to your governments - be it TV, the written word or radio!

Answer 5

Well the media likes to spot the shortcomings of the government, so I doubt they are lying. And of course the government can't tell everything to citizens, it would compromise our security as a nation and lower our influence in the world.

Answer 6

I thought the media was there to expose every imperfection of the government, so I don't know where you're coming from. I think you have been watching to much Television.

Answer 7

of course the government doesn't tell us everything. they straight out admit they don't tell us everything. as for the media, it would have to be an incredible conspiracy to keep every single reporter in line.

Answer 8

No I don't believe all the government tells me. America maybe the greatest country on earth, but America's past and present are muddled in deceit and lies. The freedom of our press is one the strong balancing forces that keep the goverment from spreading its proganda as the absolute truth.
