I dont think that the Media has to provide ALL the facts to the people like Mills simply describes it. I mean the information that the media gets is not even 100% accurate to begin with. Seriously think about it..Do you really think the government releases all facts on what our armed forces are up to? Or whats going on with our enemies? They dont because they want to protect us. Think about the tragedy of 911. Before it happend..we had been following terrists tail for a while, and knew it was an arising issue..but the general public was not informed because untill that day..there was no need to. Then Bush fabricated that they had weapons of mass destruction in order to justify going to war and let them know America does not tolerate being attacked. But do you think he would have as many supporters if he did not claim weapons of mass destruction? probably not. So I think the media is kind of like our babysitters, and the government is our parents. Our nation can't go anywhere without them. And we should not get all the facts, the typical person would not know what to do with them.

I agree that to some extent we cannot handle all of the facts of what is really going on with our government and in foreign policy.
ReplyDeleteI am always interested in movies that present a fictional behind the scenes look at "what the government is really up to." I was just watching "Bourne Identity" last night and it does make you think, "What if we knew for certain the government brainwashed soldiers to commit overt political assassinations?" Could we really handle that sort of truth?
