    Why? - 21 Unanswered Questions That They Don't Want You To Look Into

    http://endoftheamericandream.com/arc...u-to-look-into

    Do you ever get the feeling that the mainstream media is feeding you a very watered-down and twisted version of the news? Do you ever get the feeling that the federal government does not believe that the American people can actually be trusted with the truth? It is exasperating to realize that the news that the public is being fed every single day is very heavily filtered and very heavily censored. In a world where "spin" is everything, simply telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

    There are some here that would argue that it does make the news. Only that the stories become back page articles or exist on alternative outlets. NPR has regularly mentioned many of the stories on the aforementioned list.

    Of course the MSM reports crap- it keeps ignorant people ignorant. That is why I watch VERY little TV and view alternative news sites.

    I can barely stand to watch television anymore. As for alternative news outlet, I first try learn their perspective in order to know their filters.
