As you read your daily newspapers, watch your evening newscast, and listen to your radio program....BE CRITICAL IN YOUR THINKING.
Know that all broadcasters, newsgroups, and governments have hidden motives. I have seen the spinmeisters give up to three versions of the same story on the same day.
An example:
A student riot at the University of Bangkok, police bust some heads, rioters go home.
US Spin:
There was an uprising of communist lead students at the University of Bangkok today urging the overthrow of the King. The King, the leader of Thailand, reluctantly requested that the military assist the police in quelling the riot in an effort to maintain law and order. During the riot, police and soldiers, loyal to the King had to used minimal force to dispurse the unruly crowd. Soon, order was restored and the city is calm.
Communist spin:
Today, the people and students of the University of Bangkok tried to speak out against the abuses of human rights that they suffer under the corrupt administration of the King. During their peaceful march, the students and people were brutally attacked by the fascist police. Many were injured and hospitalized as a result of the savage attack. The students vowed to again march for their rights in the near future.
Rather than believe the spin, think about what really happened.
