I remember after the 9/11 Attacks on our soil, the federal government came out with the Office of Strategic Influence. The whole idea was to promote half truths and disinformation that would be picked up by the media and foreign nations. A few months later, Donald Rumsfeld stated publicly that the Office was closed due to public outcry, but later in Nov. 2002 admitted that it was closed only in name.
So I ask you, how much of what we hear on the news is real, how much is half truths, and how much is utter bullshit? OR.... Was that a dry run to gauge how much shit the .gov can get away with? |

Go out of country.
You will be amazed at what you hear on the news anywhere but here, about the US. Hell, just travel around the country, and you will be shocked at how much changes from region to region. Media shapes perception, perception shapes reality. Or maybe not?
