The Power of the Media..
All too often , we believe the first thing we read or hear - rather than confirming. The power of the press is trully amazing in forming attitudes..
A case in point is Obama's visit to India..
Reports began circulating that it is costing US$200 million a day.
Even seasoned politicians got caught. Mike Huckabee made the claim to Fox News on Tuesday night citing "reports"..
Bachmann repeated the claim on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
The only problem: The claims appear to be wrong.
The numbers evidently originate with the Press Trust of India, whose report was linked on the Drudge Report and picked up by Fox News host Glenn Beck. The news agency also wrongly said that the White House had blocked off the entire Taj Mahal Palace hotel for Obama's visit and that the U.S. was stationing 34 warships—roughly 10 percent of the naval fleet--off the coast of Mumbai for security reasons.
So, don't believe the first thing you hear / read - Google to confirm :O)
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” paul joseph goebbels, minister of propaganda in nazi germany
