If you want to know what is true don't listen to the mainstream media. Thomas Jefferson once observed “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
Another source of misinformation comes from government schools. Joseph Goebbels who was the Minister of Propaganda for Nazi Germany stated "It is the function of assist in the formation of public opinion.
Mark Twain once observed “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”
Adolf Hitler stated “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
Unfortunately most of the people accept whatever they see in the newspaper and whatever they see on television. Since the government controls the media they control what the people think is true.
