Journalism's kind of scary. That's been confirmed for me by the internet. I've always been suspicious of the major media, and I am absolutley flabbergasted at how well it has managed to manipulate the thoughts of the average person.
Take the Israeli/Palistinian thing...please!
By our media, Israel is an innocent little victim-country, terrorized by viscious Arabs. As a matter of course, all of us Westerners are portrayed as "the good guys", while reports on the rest of the world almost always accenutate the negative.
But, we are not the good guys...

It's just getting harder and harder to find something that stimulates me.
