Hey @cicbar. Thank you for this thought provoking post. I agree that we should always think of the motivation behind anything spun in the media, before we internalize it. It is very rare these days that the info we receive in the media is not enforced by an agenda - usually related to loss of profit for big corporations or the banks, or a political agenda. That is what makes steemit so valuable, because here we can share raw uncensored data and information. Thank you for your insights, I'm looking forward to reading more from you.
