If you’ve had some experience on the web or are anything of a skeptic, then you’ll know that much of what the mass media reports is inaccurate, misleading or blatantly FALSE. Sometimes, it seems that the untruthfulness is intentionally perpetuated.
See my post Malaysiakini: Are US News Agencies Biased Against Palestine? and zombietime’s post Reuters’ Four Types of Photo Fraud.

Thankfully, in this brave new world of worldwide connectivity and blogs, anyone can be a citizen journalist and dig up the truth – uncovering the lies and ignorance of bad information.
That is one of my blog’s goals, to seek for and perpetuate the truth behind the propaganda – be it global warming paranoia, evolutionistic dogma, or anti-Christian bigotry.

As bloggers and civilians untainted by the corruption of big-publication politics, I consider it our duty to uphold the truth… And uncover liars and manipulators for the under-a-rock scum they are.
