News releases are not always the same. If you look at different TV stations, they are often times biased based on their political views or the government they represent. For example living in Israel, I watch many English news channels from all over the world, and it is very easy to see who is pro Israel and who is anti Israel. I personally like to watch both sides, even though I know which one is right. The same is true for the printed media. This is one reason why I also like to read blogs. In many cases this is where you get to know what is really going on, but here too it can be one sided. It is up to you, the viewer, to sift through all of the information that is available to us today, and try and determine what you think is the truth or just propaganda.
