don't tell me that internet is not controlled i've heard that it is used as a tool for gathering information on people...

You can control media but not every person's independent thoughts. And then Internet is not something you can directly control with a single click of button.

Not all conspiracy thing is true, some of the straw ones are purposely made so as to debunk them easily, while some are made just to get some bucks out of it and show that all conspiracy things are nothing but BS.

First thing they want is that we protest. This will give them an excuse to pass out weird laws. Remember patriot act, FEMA, TADA etc ! Domesitc forces and conscription are another step towards it. You cannot possibly do it telling the actual reason, so you say it with sugar coated words, false sense of patriotism and incidents like 9/11. It's when you yourself putting an Axe on your toes.

Idiot box is one of the media that has manipulated and reflected our lifestyle. We don't see anything good in something without a popular brand or our favorite celibrity posing for an ad for it. The whole sensationalism thing is kinda diverting us. If you are not upto the trend then you are frowned upon by your fellow mates. Here the topic ends and starts everytime.

There is some truth among all scattered manipulated truths.

What folly is this, toasting an independent press? There is no such thing, at this date of the World's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon [Biblical ref.], and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of "rich men" [Biblical ref.] behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
