I learned a lot when I worked as an overnight janitor for the summer at a newspaper.

The old-timers would show me how they would spin a story to acheive a desired outcome. Little things such as choosing an unflattering picture of someone they didn't like in order to subtly turn the reader against the person.

I still recall the pic they published of a politician with his eye squeezed shut as he was yawning. They had plenty of good pics available, but delibratlty chose that one to undercut his message.

Yea, that's why I don't read the news anymore... their goal is selling ads and not information

The media have always been deceitful. They manage to manipulate at will, it is barbaric.
