Why what you see in the news is not always what you get!

WYSIWYG! has been an acronym in the American technical lexicon for well over two decades now, but as far as news goes, you better watch out! For what you are fed to consume in the news these days is not exactly what you might think it to be. Take for example this important "Analysis" from  Fredrik Dahl of Reuters as reprinted by Yahoo news of Ireland Analysis: North Korea likely needed outside help for centrifuge. Here we have an important article that expounds upon the supposed facts that North Korea needed help building its nuclear infrastructure and it is a "Mystery" as to who that help might be. Pardon me, but Duh! Even Homer Simpson knows that! To quote Ripley, "Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?". This in essence is not news in the traditional sense in which one can draw an informed opinion from, but infotainment. Something to tease the mind with but with no real objective value. Nothing is wrong with infotainment, but it needs to be seen for what it is and used accordingly. To use the above article as an example, the article tries to imply that these sources are a total scary mystery and the worlds nuclear watchdogs are completely baffled and confused. This might  lead a reader to assume that we are totally unprotected from an immanent North Korean missile attack any day now! This last statement is far fetched, but has been proven scientifically viable in my blog entry about the movie The Fourth Kind. Nothing could be further from the truth and thus my point is made! Check out here who probably gave North Korea that help and specifically when it was given. Only then will you truly see that what you get in the news is not always what you think it is! Dig a little deeper into the facts and see what's truly scarry about nuclear proliferation! Beware what you read and always have a skeptical yet rational and reasoned mind in truly analyzing the world around you!  I find it sadly paradoxical that inscribed on the wall of the CIA headquarters is the motto, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" and yet they amongst others like NBC ect. al. do such a good job of making sure "We the people" don't really know it!
