I think you alerady made this point. Are you telling us that the same media that sold us "Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction" is any more credible than Russia Today?

Do you know that the US CIA had over 400 journalists on its payroll and they were working in every sector of the media?

Did you ever hear of William S. Paley and the role that the Pentagon and what Eisenhower came to call the "Military Industrial Complex" played in the establishment of the television media in the USA, circa 1950?

I don't imagine you do, or you might be a bit more skeptical about the Stenography corps.

Here is a short (very short since I don't have time to run a free education service) bibliography and reading list:

> So the nutjob holed up in his room with a fuckload of guns only ever sees the vitriolic opinions espoused on his favorite internet forum about how blacks and Muslims are subhuman, so he’s eventually radicalized enough to go out and kill a bunch of them. The Muslim boy in the Middle East who sees his friends and family beaten, raped and killed by US soldiers grows up to join terrorist cells. And so on it goes.

Now do the Cold War and replace "internet forum" with Corporate Television News & Propaganda....
