Thanks for the posts, intresting information all around


Overall I am going to have to disagree with the 1st post on one point. That simply is not true that all information coming out of the mainstream media some big lie. If there was one state run news station and the internet was heavily controlled by the government. Then I would agree and we probably would not be having this coversation. Still, I maintain people will choose the news or information that suits their particular POV. Which explains the continued existence of media outlets like Fox News and there counterparts on the left. There are plenty of places to get good information, often the case is people do not want to take the time to read its cause its (omg!) in print, and runs several pages.
The information has not changed, which segways into my point--- the way we wish to receive it has. In this world of instant gratification and television news where you don't have to think, perhaps you are correct. That many people will take propoganda for truth. As I said above, the art of journalism is still alive and well on the internet, in some publications, and newspapers. In order to read these sources you have to have some background knowledge and be prepared to take more than five minutes to listen to soundbits.
