All the News …

That it is paid to report.  Here is a very disturbing story about how far some “news” outlets are in the satchel for a few pieces of silver.  Apparently, according to one of its Emmy-winning former investigative reporters, Amber Lyon, the cable channel CNN accepts money from the U.S. and foreign governments to include or exclude information in their “news” stories. To see the details of this how deep this fourth-estate corruption goes, please read: Red Flag News. 

Unlike this story, I do not accuse the Obama administration as the exclusive corrupter of the media.  As I recall, George W. Bush’s press people also engaged in such malfeasance.  What can be drawn from this revolting revelation?  I think someone once rightly said, “Don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see.”  Perhaps this shibboleth can now be updated to say, "Don't believe anything you see and only half of what you personally experience."
