> While we like to consider the mainstream press as completely free and unbiased, I think it's fair to remind everyone that in the early 2000s all publications were parroting the US lie that Iraq was hiding WMDs. Something similar happened last year with the election in Bolivia and subsequent coup.

That's true, taking that observation too far leads to a quagmire or cynicism, paranoia, and/or ignorance.
