to answer Mr Cowboydoody.....
I am American and very Patriotic..For this reason I try to make people aware of the freedoms they are loosing. The greatest patriots in history had ti step on toes of people who think like you and I am ready to step on yours.

I get free press out to other Americans so we can all work together to keep our freedom. Knowledge is power, Power is not knowledge.

Answer 1

No, example yesterday a watched a news story on a network news prime time and the story was about how many new tourists from Europe we have coming to New York to shop and how much money they are saving because the federal reserve bank (private bank) has devalued our(USA) dollar by so much the euro is worth double the dollar. Remember about 5 years ago when the dollar was worth 1.5 loons(Canadian). In 2001 I went to whistler and changed 400$ at the boader and got 745 loons back. Today if I did that I would get LESS than 400. And the "news" painted it as a good for the economy story when the the REAL STORY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHY AND WHO IS DESTROYING OUR DOLLAR AND HOW ALL THE MONEY WE HAVE IN OUR SAVING AND INVESTMENTS IS QUICKLY BECOMING WORTHLESS. Why do we have record oil/gold prices...because the dollar isn't worth what it used to be.

Answer 2

that's BS fairly why might the BBC range leader wish ladies to have a veil they do not have veils on the entire journalists on Al Jazzera even. I believe Aljazzera plenty greater than Faux noise myself actually Murdoch's media empire is via the day for the final 20 years extra like Le Père Duchesne a newpaper/pamphlet from French revolution appear it up and you're going to see indicators that Faux noise are simply the twenty first Century variation of Hébert's paper.

Answer 3

Of course not as there are few journalists in today's world so 95% of what is reported is based upon personal bias. To, really, find out what the "news" is re a particular subject, it's necessary to track it back to its' source and, believe me, this is time-consuming! Often, when back-tracking, you will be directed to an English-language edition of newspapers which are dliberately, of course, translated with the western- world audience in mind. A good reason for knowing another language - mine are French and Italian but wish I'd studied Russian, Mandarin or Arabic!

Answer 4

The news no longer interest me it's full of half truths salted with a bit of bullsh*t.
I am sick and tired of hearing about iraq, as we all know every freaking time they talk about the petrol price goes up.

I hate the news

Answer 5

Watch Zeitgeist, no the news is bull, then check out a guy named Chomsky. Its all mythical propaganda by the filthy rich.

Answer 6

No, why because only 4 big corporations own most news outlets and most news have either a conservative point of view or a liberal point of view.

Answer 7

After reading your questions I decided to answer you. You seem to have a negative view of America, are you a citizen? if so, have you asked yourself what you have given to your country to applaud it's free press, freedom of speech, freedom to travel to interpret the government the way you want and speak your mind without threat of jail, and still be free.
Have you asked yourself "what have I done for my country" instead of what my countries going to do for me" Think about it.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Ever hear the expression, "They lie like a rug" ?

Answer 10
