Reply #15: I've taken it to the people [View All]

Whenever anyone begins telling me about some trash news, I just say...you know they are lying to you, they lie all the time.

More times than not, the person just sadly shakes their head. Many years ago I ran across a quote about how Americans were/are the most propagandized nation on earth. Now the Soviet Union was still up and running at the time; however, the quote went on to say: that although Pravda told more lies, the people of the Russia knew they were being lied to, and believed nothing they were told. Whereas, the Americans actually thought they were hearing the truth.

While we may hope that the future holds more-some-any honesty in the media, we all can do something now. Never let a lie become the message.
