Does the government lie?

Question

Or the media? do they have any effect on the mindset of the public?

Answer 1

Yes, of course they do.  And the media lies as well.

If anyone tells you any different than they are simply uninformed.

Answer 2

The government certainly has reason to lie. Whether it's to protect themselves or to "protect us". They use the media to get us to think exactly what they want us to.

I think the media however just tells it like they hear it and then they mix it up for attention and to get people reading. If they leave bits out/make it sound bigger than it is, then they are still printing the truth, they are just making it more interesting.

I think the media has more affect then most people think.

Answer 3

Yes.  They've made a living out of breaking the 10th Amendment for the benefit of themselves and their cronys.

Answer 4

Everybody lies. Just like Hugh Laurie always says when he acts as Dr. Gregory House.

"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."

Answer 5

YES! But I think they have to sometimes, to keep us safe and not let terrorists know what we're up to. It's too bad the media let's a lot of info out though.

Answer 6

I know Pelosi lies through her teeth every time she speaks so yes...and the media has NEVER told the straight truth

Answer 7

The media manipulates the truth.

The Government bends the truth.

Yes, they help us make our opinions.

Answer 10

Sure the government lies and deceives. The people don't have a right to know everything.

The media is nothing but a bunch of biased losers who never fail to tell only half an issue's story. And the people gobble it up because they don't know how to think for themselves! They're so content to be spoonfed any information the press doles out.
