It really is hard to just watch the news and then constantly debate with myself whether the news that they reported on is true or just a false propaganda.
I am furious on another level as once there was a severe earthquake and all the electric and telephone lines were broken and in the midst of all that the media decided to Air the fact that the town I was staying in had severe casualties around 85%.
My parents were just lost once they heard the news as they were unable to contact me and could only rely on the media
Thanks to the age of social media and parallel alternatives, at least we have options to figure out what is the truth albeit a lengthy process.
