Different medias lie about different things. I personally have observed the following lies/misinformation:
*About China and Tibet, to smear China and protect US interests (False photos, false claims, misrepresentation of Dalai Lama etc.)
*About Zimbabwe, to smear Mugabe to protect US, European interests

Who am I suppose to trust? Crazy guys with video blogs on the web or respected news organizations like NBC or The New York Times? You be the judge.
