Did anyone see that HBO movie about Poncho Villa? It was about a movie crew going down to Mexico to film Poncho in real battles. The studio built Poncho Villa up as a hero and the people shooting the movie even started to believe he was till at one point in cold blood he shoots this grieving widow in the head. The film studio having already put so much money in to the film edited the clip of PV shooting the widow to make it look like it was the Mexican government that did it. Most of the filmmakers were disgusted with the studios decision to that. And watching the clip as it was shown in theaters it really did galmourize him and make him look good.
The media and governments have been that same type of thing long before that and ever since. I don't care if its CNN, FOX or Al Jazira, they are all biased. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. But when watching any news the most important and revealing information is always in what they don't tell you. And if you actually watch news that way you'll see they all leave stuff out.
