That video didn't prove anything or contradict anything, it just played a health care video (Twice actually) and said that it was all fake without any proof...I'm all for skepticism but that was just bashing with nothing to back it up. What gives?
This video isn't making any claims which are controversial or up for debate. It is common knowledge and widely accepted that the media runs Public Relations pieces alongside genuine news items, in print, radio, and television and that they have been doing so for the majority of the 20th century. If this video is the first time you are being introduced to this truth then....
well, when the media is more bent on a tennis player that did cocaine or O.J. simpson, when we have citizens over seas dyeing left and right then my answer is no i don't trust the black blanket of the media on TV to bring me my news one bit! This isn't the 1960's anymore to where we start a war in Vietnam because someone wants to lie about a PT boat getting sunk in the ocean south of Vietnam, the only reason Nam was started wqas so that we could have control over the southern waters around Vietnam for oil tranport. but that was then this is now and everryone has the opportunity to get the truth off of the internet now a days before all these corporations and govt. leashers decide to change the truth on wikipedia and what not!

It's not what he said he didn't trust. It's what he said he trusts, because it includes what he said he didn't trust. It is a contradictory statement.

Hardly. I get the majority of news from the BBC (if I'm watching TV) or the NYT.

He can make all the money he wants. Doesn't negate the fact he doesn't have to hold himself to any kind of journalistic standards. <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism_ethics_and_standards">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism_ethics_and ...</a>
