For your education look at any news story say on the NY Times web site. Then look at the same story on the web sites for Pravda, The Times (London) and the Jerusalem Post. Of them all the NY Times and Pravda are the most alike if it does not involve the Russian foreign policy or allies. The Times is more like the Wall Street Journal, and the Jerusalem Post comes closest to the truth. Yes, it takes a pro Israeli slant, but it come closest to the plain facts of any news story.

The US has always had Propaganda. Prime example is the papers of William Randolph Hearst that led/lied us into the Spanish-American War of 1898. Hearst needed the war to sell papers, and his friends wanted to move in for minerals and natural resources. IE the sugar industry of Cuba and other things.

A second example was about 35 years ago the number one news story in the world EXCEPT the US was the story that a Japanese TV crew broke about the CIA involvement in trying to over throw the Argentine government. They had the proof and showed the actual documents from the CIA that showed its involvement.

NOW folks see why I always want PROOF and NOT opinion, especially from news sources. Right now I would NOT believe anything from NBC, MSNBC, CNN and 90%+ of anything from any other US source.
