Quote by: Zeebadee I am rapidly losing what little faith I have left in our government's ability and willingness to simply tell the truth. The Army lies about Pat Tillman, the FBI lies about these guys, the President lies every time he opens his mouth, it's always some "mistake" not a real lie. No one is ever punished, fired, or otherwise held accountable in any way. These two saps supposedly lied to the FBI, they're terrorists, and gonna go straight to jail.
I take everything I hear from the government now with a hefty dose of skepticism, there're just too many "mistakes" and "miscommunications" occurring these days. |
You are rapidly falling under the spell of mass media manipulation. The media exist for sole purpose of fomenting hate and discontent for profit,
not to inform an ignorant public. There's no incentive for them to report that, "..all is well at home tonight."
Which sells more papers, "Terror Charges Disappear From Ruling" or "Terror Charges Irrevelent to Proving Case Against Lodi Man"? Why did the Christian Science Monitor choose to word their headline that way? Why did they omit this, "
Sacramento FBI spokesman John Cauthen said the deletions in the document were made because the original details were "not relevant or not accurate in context" for the purpose of proving a probable cause to arrest Hamid Hayat and his father ."

You must always remember that sensationalism is nothing more than twisting facts in a way to entice you into buying information at a higher price. You said you take everything you hear from the government with a healthy dose of skepticism. But in reality, you're taking everything you hear from the media with skepticism, yet ascribing it to someone else. Why...?
