@ leob
@wilfredo

I absolutely agree with you both.

This danger for free information is sharpened by the Hollywood-like propaganda like the "liberation" of the female soldier, the lies in front of the security council before the Iraque war and the publication of the Terror- and Torture/Killing photos of Abu Ghareib.
It is the Ironic and bitter Reality that this scandal got publicity by the exchange of photos by people who thought they liberate others by killing them - and not at all by Photojournalists !! It was just because they were PROUD to torture and humiliate other people..

The only counterpart is the "democratization" of public reports by the high-effective aims of little digital cameras (even cellphone-cameras) and videocameras in the hands of the poor people who suffer or are just witnesses of things ongoing.
Maybe just THIS the last chance for Trueness in public conscioussness .

The worst nightmares of Orwell and Hyxley are now reality - no, we went worse than that..
