innocent people always suffer...wtc,bombings in middle east, iraq. Then again, no news source is without bias.

Are you telling me that organizations like the Associated Press (AP) and Reuters are not going to tell the FACTS of a story? If this is the situation, then we're all going to hell. But these types of news services do not have biases. Maybe we should define a bias.....

They are not biased in the sense that they are misleading us. I would place much confidence in anything that reuters says since they tend to be very factual. However, it's biased in the sense that it is not providing completely comprehensive coverage on an issue. They are not doing this on purpose and I'm sure they try to cover every angle, but put simply, they do not have the resources to cover every angle of every story. Essentially no news organizations has that capability. Also any news agency is prone to errors or false sources ... I'm not saying we should discredit reuters or ap as being misleading, I'm simply saying that we shouldn't rely on those sources alone.

Once we label such information as lies why would we belive anything else a government says? its absurd... you see those GDP figures - lies. how about those crime rates - lies. such info is only attianable by government agencies. if you take one as lie you must take all. So, if you belive the IDF lies you must therefore conclude that Israel as a country decieves and lies to the world, which is something i dont belive in (and could prove becuase israeli government and army is held accountable by its judicary system)

OHHH fancy, someone has been reading his Kant I believe eh?

If someone would break their promise then no one would honor promises anymore, and this is self-defeating so breaking promises is not good. huh?!
