“Often we talk about media bias and how the mainstream news can manipulate popular opinion. How they transmit information in a manner designed to be a benefit more for the continued enterprise of the owners and funders of the station than the viewer. And while we all tailor the way we present our views to better get our point across, when the primary sources of mass opinion (the mainstream media) are so concentrated in the hands of so few, we are in danger of what they want us to believe as a people becoming what we believe as a people, while the facts are ignored.” Source: Media Distortion, A Clear

Example By Russel Burnell

Be Mindful !

Do not believe everything you read. If you want to know the truth, read

more than one story. Find “loop-holes” in stories. Do not be blinded by what the media

displays to you.
