A while back I posted a link to a site...takebackthemedia.com...and prefaced by saying that if anyone found the flashfilm offensive, make sure to at least check out what the site has to say about the popular media and its corporate, government and military ties. You replied that the site was 'SICK'...which gave me a pretty good idea that you didn't look beyond the film. There's a lot of valuable information on that site that specifically addresses the questions you are raising about the credibility of resources and why the popluar media presents a distorted view of the 'truth'. At the very least...you should have an understanding of who owns what so that you can keep in mind who's interests are being protected when you read/hear the 'news'.
