if you could tell i was being SARCASTIC... seriously people what do you think we get fed by our own media? Govt. stories doctored by the PR spin artists, why don't you ask a jounro if they ever get to write without a leash on? PR teams and editors curtail everything so it suits, govts, their major sponsors and their taget audience, it is a real challenge to find the truth in anything anymore
