Not sure about political agendas but I am sure about the bloodthirsty ratings wars the media indulge in.
I plain do not trust them period - these unelected unethical bastards have have been manipulating public opinion for decades, and before anyone hits me with the sanctimonious 'freedom of the press' shite, the real meaning of which is the enormous power and freedom to print any untruthful, biased, inflammatory, immoral, deceitful and just plain fantasy fiction the publisher, editor and editorial team can dream up on a Monday morning.
