    Shows how not everything you see on television is necessarily true. Good use of propaganda.

    I think people are swayed too easily by what the media tells them because they do not want to do their due diligence and seek the truth on their own. This message is telling people to try this out for themselves which I agree with.

    The first thing i typed in was "CNN is..." and the first thing that came up was fake news, garbage, owned by, biased, etc. I think it goes to show what people really have to say about news sections and they work. Also, how the government may have an "upper hand" on them or "behind the curtain hand" controlling them.
