Americans Don’t Blindly Believe the Media Anymore

PhotobucketThere is finally a movement among more and more people not to blindly accept much of the brainwashing that is continually presented as fact to the American people by mainstream media. In fact, it is totally acceptable and sensible nowadays to be cynical and critical of any source of information…especially when associated with politics, big business and the media.

“If you tell people a big enough lie, often enough, they will believe it.”

People are becoming used to being on the receiving end of deceit and deception. We are being constantly lied to by governments, government officials, drug companies, the medical profession, multinational industry, food companies and politicians. We are also often lied to in financial transactions, stockholders reports and corporate statements.

One wise thing to remember is to try to look at the motives behind everything you hear and see. There is always a motive. What are they ’selling’? Keep an open mind and treat all information with a reasonable amount of skepticism.

If all else fails, use a little old fashioned commonsense.
