Answer 1

I wonder if Pravda might be manipulating the public.  Have you read other articles in Pravda?

If you like blaming the US, read this.

If you like to be entertained by absurd so-called news, read this.

If you read pravda at all, make sure you have a good anti-virus program running in the background.

Answer 2

Always have, always will; it is called "Marketing".

Answer 3

NO NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS -_-

Answer 4

All media is manipulative, but yes I think it's gotten out of control and lost integrity.

If I go and see a romantic film I expect to be manipulated into feeling happy and sad.

When I turn the news on I want to be informed with as little agenda as possible. Those days are gone and it explains why so few people vote anymore. Too many lobby groups and vested interests! It's a shame

Answer 5

Yes and it is almost always Left..

Answer 6

This has been going on for years.

After years of claiming that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, and was finally release that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself, for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site.

A word was never said about it on any of the national networks.

Duh, of course. But not for the reasons that you might think. It's not about  Russia and Georgia, it's about advertising revenue.

CNN need to attract key advertisers and sponsors, and so it must publish news stories that attract people who will buy the products that their advertisers are selling.

Of course, CNN is hopelessly bias against Russia, too.

What it is neglecting to say is that South Ossetia broke away from Georgia years ago, and that Georgia has just launched a military offensive to forcefully retake its breakaway province.

South Ossetia asked for Russia's help and about 20,000 South Ossetian refugees have fled into Russia to escape the Georgian army.

Russia is simply responding to protect a neighbor fro attack by another neighbor. The US would do the same if China attacked Taiwan, and did do the same when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
