news

or something like it.

after reading and crawling the internet for years..(around 11 years now.)i think around 30-40% of the things i read are untrue/mis-represented/mis-quoted or simply fabricated.

news lines usually have their slant on things. either cause of sponsorships, editors own opinion or even playing down some facts regarding the 'news'.

no one is unbaised. no one is totally neutral. we are humans..we have our likes and dislikes. so everything that goes through somebody, will have it's 'warp'. statistics, as i learnt in school, can be played around to show what you want to show. stories, by using particular words, can have certain angle on it. footages, after editting, can totally mis-represent an event.

all these are nothing compared to backstabbing and bad-mouthing from people around you to others around you. intentionally or not, they harm people directly. i am not innocent of it..sadly. i have my opinion, and when people ask, i tell.

guess people are quick to find faults and shout out the wrongs of others. while they whisper their own sins.

don't listen, believe and be convinced so easily. think and find out on your own before coming to conclusion about anything.

half-truths are not true.
