As Paul Harvey used to say, …"And now for the rest of the story"... I dislike when the media does this. Promote one side of a story in hopes that it will go viral and the submit another less sensational and more truthful side that portrays a different picture. [msn.com]

We "see" what we are shown most of the time in these quick little snippets from the media of choice...

I was just thinking about the same exact thing. I try very hard to take what the media reports with a grain of salt. Even when the narrative is or is not according to my personal, political, or non-religious beliefs. Bottom line: the media sells burgers. And they will skew, manipulate, and outright lie, to keep it's audience watching, listening, or reading. I do not find the narrative of Mr. Phillips credible. Not even an iota.
