Those of us who are well informed about what goes on in Israel, frequently see wrong information, or twisted information in the world media about Israel.
OK, fine. WE, at least, KNOW it is wrong.
But that should teach us something more.
Israel may be one area where we KNOW we are getting misinformation, but regarding OTHER subjects in the news, about which we do NOT have the same degree of expertise, we STILL tend to BELIEVE the news, EVENTHOUGH we know the news is not accurate about the issue of Israel!
How do we know the news is accurate about the other “facts” it is telling us?!? Knowing the media lies about Israel, why are we not more doubtful about the veracity of ALL the news we hear?!?
It IS an OLAM HASHEKER! There used to be a clear dividing line in the media between hard news (i.e. FACTS) and editorials (i.e. opinion). Nowadays that line has totally blurred, and opinion is presented as fact!
