Really, it's the job of a news broadcaster to broadcast the news. Seems pretty obvious, but in reality it has become the assumed job of a news broadcaster to try and lead the sheep.
For example, almost every news station refers to terrorists as 'militants'
even though actually they are terrorists.
Also, Hamas, HizbAllah, al Qaeda, etc are refered to '....who the US has branded a terrorist organisation' even though they actually are terrorist organisations.
Also, there was a 35000 person rally outside the UN in support of Israel yesterday which wasn't reported, although they are happy to report a few hundred hippies calling Bush Hitler or a chimp or something.
So, we live in times in which, since the news broadcasters can't be relied on to tell it like it is, it's up to the people who can, to understand what's going on in the world, but just like not everyone can run the 100 metres in under ten seconds, not everyone can work out for themselves what is going on, and that is why we have threads like this.
