Truth will always be more powerful than cleverness because truth forms togetherness. Cleverness can highlight a truth but at the same time create untruths.
I trusted the media for a long time I think a turning point came with Princess Diana´s tragic death and then came the phone tapping scandal of the News of the world. The the disgusting saga of the pedophile Jimmy Saville was the last straw for me. I dont believe a word of the media anymore and they only have themselves to blame.
