Media Propaganda

[judith_s]

Mediamatters has a beautiful deconstruction how a made-up allegation goes from small comments to being reported as observed truth. In this case, it's about throwing Oreos at a Republican candidate during a debate. The story gets embellished, by the candidate and his staff, every time.

In other words, don't trust what you read.
