Lets not forget that the OP was dismayed by the lack of honesty by ANYONE, and lying by ANYONE especially what you see reported
Somehow the LIARS became entangled with those reporting the lying and that is not what this thread is about, at least from my perspective.
When media reports a LIE and documents it, how is that the fault o the media.....are they not to report that and what reason is there not to report it ?

Regarding that youtube/Facebook video, why do you keep ignoring the fact that much of the media picked up on that story and ran with it without securing the facts? It was a good example of the topic of this thread. They did not "investigate the truth" first before reporting it in an erroneous way. Keeping politics out of it, it was simply a story of the actions of 3 different groups of people that they got wrong because they (the media) apparently believed the Facebook posting instead of checking the story out for themselves before reporting. Talk about being irresponsible!
