Is it the truth or is it what they want us to believe?


How do we know that the news papers and channels carry the truth about what is happening in the world? During the revolution in Egypt the country newspapers were still following the old regime's style, Instead of putting headlines to convey what is truly happening and why people are risking their lives in order to get their rights their were headlines about the people who came out in support for Mubarak as seen in the picture below even though the vast majority was against the old regime.
The media also seemed to exaggerate the amount of people that were with the regime to convey the message they wanted.We see in this link how the news exaggerate the amount of people supporting the old regime as if they were equal in amount to those who were against the regime. The question is does the news convey the truth or is it biased to what they want us to believe.
