don't trust the international media easily...
get triangulation of information... BBC, TIMES, ECONOMIST, CNN, REUTERS, NEWSWEEK, etc... all these western media are mouth pieces for you know who... so, in today's world... it's better to read information from wikileaks, and alternative sources than from these "DE FACTO" News Agencies...
and information can be manipulated to sway thoughts... that's the power of media... the most powerful propaganda tool...
whoever owns the media, control the minds of people!
