Belly yes I saw it it shows the lengths some reporters will go to sensationalize a story, but it also calls into question the camera people and others that knew it was BS but would have been unable to say anything for fear of being fired.

For nearly all fake reports and stories there are others at the scene who know the truth but can say nothing.

I think the wording is something like don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

One day some will be smart enough to realise that its the news that is not reported that tells the other half of the story.

runner The problem with that is if you are only allowed to hear or read 1 side of a story because of censorship or google results manipulation sometimes you do not know there is another side.

Also tell a lie enough or hear the same lie from different sources and a lot of people believe it.

If something is not reported you do not know about it so what you hear is the closest to the truth, even though it is not the real truth.

Sep 4, 2018 - Trillion ton A-68 iceberg five times the size of London is careering out of control after breaking away from Antarctica. The iceberg is spinning off.

The outer tip is doing about 3.5km a day or 1/50 walking speed. Several albatross are victims of hit-and-run.
