He who molds the public sentiment… makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make. – Abraham Lincoln<\/em><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An article in in a university magazine<\/font><\/a> recently pointed out that most people don\u2019t believe what they hear, and read in the news. If you cannot see the Irony in that, I perhaps need to start writing something else, or maybe somewhere else, but you defiantly need to start reading something else, because I\u2019m clearly speaking above you.<\/font><\/p>\n

Personally, as a news junkie who will go back to news stories even years later, I believe a few things.<\/font><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What News you heard today, will, and I underline that, be corrected tomorrow.<\/font><\/li>\n
  2. An News on what happened yesterday is more accurate than the News report of the same day as the event.<\/font><\/li>\n
  3. The News of what Happened a week ago, is believable.<\/font><\/li>\n
  4. The News report of what happened a year ago is total crock. Too much hang-wringing, litigation for defamation and retractions, not to mention the editorial pen of hindsite has made anything useful, useless.<\/font><\/li>\n
  5. The News tries to define your focus, if you let that become influence, that\u2019s your damn fault. Don\u2019t blame others because you\u2019re too inane to form an opinion yourself.<\/font><\/li>\n
  6. The more witnesses to an event, the greater the number of conspiracies. They are not all wrong, they just can\u2019t be all right.<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
