That's too bad, but I already know you know which news sources are reliable and which ones should be ignored. TV is just one source. The only news I watch on TV anymore is the local news, and then only until the next day's weather report is through. If there's something else I want to know I get online and read news from sources I trust more. Maybe not everyone does that, but most people know that TV news shows are meant as much for entertainment as information. People see the way the networks compete for viewers, people know that for every government spoofed news story there are ten independently reported stories on as many channels. Propaganda is definitly out there but it's just an other face in the crowd not very effective, especially not from a historical viewpoint.
