Do we seriously need to have a conversation about American media being liars?

Or not covering important, historic events at all, such as the ongoing, massive no-nuke protests throughout Japan?

When someone posts a story from Press TV, RT News, Aljazeera, BBC, etc. you should be thankful you're getting a story at all. As a member of the Occupy movement I can tell you from personal experience that US media twist things, omit them to shift context, or simply ignore things completely, yet I've seen great work from local Press TV and RT News reporters/crews, who have repeatedly offered realistic depictions of events in which I've witnessed and participated.

Now I know that I'm not taking this heat specifically because I'm with Occupy.

Edit: I've been following the Anaheim situation as closely as possible, including watching hours of livestream, and what Amber says to Thom Hartmann on Russia Today is true:

1. Yes, it's quickly assumed that the media knows cause they act like they know...

...and people take their word for it quickly.

[Nay]

2. The conversation's been had -- the courts said it's A-OK for the media to lie. Not a thing you

can do about it except turn to non-U.S. media.
