@ Tonka.
Shhhhhhh mate...the conspiracy theorists will be out in force soon....next they'll be claiming they get all their genuine news from RICHPLANET ffs.
When dealing with media of any kind there is a necessity to work out who the 'news' is from , who it shows in a bad light , and who it shows in a good light.
Fill in the gaps and you nearly always have agenda driven angles...
example - Al jazeera - look at its background , and form your own opinions on their angles on mid-east issues.
Online news outlets especially can be total unadulterated b.s.
Do your own digging around and you can find 2 sides to every story.
The IRA had millions of gullible Americans believing the British Army were bayonetting schoolkids and guilty of war crimes in Ulster ffs....whereas the truth was entirely different..the squaddies had rules of engagement but the provos didn't.
It didnt stop them printing one load of crap in their republican newspapers , giving totally skewed and misleading 'news' to anyone unlucky enough to waste their cash buying them ,and you have that from a former int collator.
