Mainstream media

It pisses me off - which is why I barely watch TV news or take anything seriously on the front page of the international section of the news.  Today, for example, they had a photo of hundreds of coffins.  Supposedly they dug up the corpses of Kurds killed by Saddam in the 80s.  This sort of one-sided sentimental crap, designed to involve your emotions, is, in my opinion, utter bullshit and is not objective journalism.  When has mention ever been made of the Kurds slaughtered by Turks?  How many people actually know about that?  Fuck all I would say.  It's the one-sided, selective coverage pandering to the propaganda put out by Bush, Blair, Howard, et al, that really incenses me.  Anything I read or hear from mainstream media I take with a grain of salt.  The cynic in me disbelieves just about everything.  They never give the full story.  Never.
