It's just life

You see polls on webpages all the time and what in my experience seems to characterize these is that opinions are generally quite evenly distributed. I just visited the Fox News webpage and next to a story where it was claimed that Iran was the 'central banker of terrorism', was this poll (right).

It's interesting to see the covert ways that Fox News seeks to influence their viewer's minds to adapt to their rightwing conservative view of the world. And it's quite disconcerting to see how successful they are; I was watching some news reports and the way they alter the truth and twist their journalism into a propaganda tool is quite subtle. Now I chose to answer this poll myself by "Not sure". Because really, I don't have a clue. All I see is rumormongering and hearsay and the so-called facts that Fox News generally present are just personal opinions of the presenters. And it seems that it's rarely backed up by anything resembling a credible evidence (which in my opinion means that they don't make news at all, they indoctrinate).

And that's what's so disconcerting - noone really knows to what extent and for what reasons Iran may be involved in acts of terrorism. That being the case, Fox News has still managed to make a whopping 92% believe that no, it's really quite simple - Iran is a funding terrorism, end of story. You know it's convenient to make Iran responsible for terrorism. It was convenient with Iraq too. At the end of the day, it's all a game to make the people accept further acts of state terrorism and gross incompetence. War is easy, peace is hard (and much more scary). Especially when many of the heads of state in the most powerful countries in the world are nothing but scared little brats with the emotional maturity of the average high school kid, masters at nothing but projecting their own inner turmoil onto an unsuspecting world.

Anything to avoid the truth.
