What Lies are You Sharing with Family and Friends?

So you see something on television, the Internet or hear about it on the radio, an interesting story, but do you stop to think, "Is this the truth?"  We are quick to assume that reporters, editors, and managers of media are accurate, but far too often this has been proven untrue.  From using green screen (fake backdrops typically used in movies) to crisis actors pretending as if they are the real characters in news stories, the truth sometimes isn't what it appears to be.

Now we can all end up being nothing more than gossip reporters for individuals and groups paid to spin stories.  I think of the clever distractions created to keep the public from knowing the unflattering truth about famous celebrities.  Pick a seemingly harmless story and before long the lie becomes the truth.

Take a moment to do your own investigative research and you will find that what you find is much different than what appears in mainstream media news.
