"I'm really starting to dislike all the BS the media puts out. I know it may be hard for 'some' people (not saying names here) to believe that the military isn't lying when it puts someting out, but from where I am sitting, most of the time its the only source telling the truth and not making stuff up to boost its ratings."

Sad to say, the media I grew up respecting is dead. When you KNOW a subject, it's SO easy to see media error or laziness. Science reporting, except by the best reporters. Business reporting, you cannot believe the stupid inaccuracies easily fact checked about my own company by the Boston Globe, not some small rag. And the media on international events and military matters.

It seems as if fact checking has been abandoned as "too much work" infavor of agenda journalism. AJ sells more papers. An unintended byproduct of capatilism.
