Talk about being lied to and mislead. It's as though people actually want a war that isn't happening. Can anyone say "Wag the Dog" or "Canadian Bacon"? ... I wonder if ideas posed in those movies actually happen, think about it, news fotage that is manipulated to make somthing appear to happen that isn't actually happening. As if it were a magic trick, and why?, because our president is having an affair?, his ratings are low. Granted these events might not be related, but they could be? The governments might be in more control than we know or care to believe. They may have a stronger influence in the media than anyone is letting on. Is life imitating art, or is art imitating life? Unless you report facts with no emotion or editing, in real time as they happen... nothing is unbiased... That’s crazy. Talk about being lied to and mislead.
