Did you say "now for a bit of real life" and then link articles on FOX NEWS and CNN?????

Woooooow.

You prefer Unity's source? What news source do "you" suggest Ab? Both sources I cited are slanted..politically speaking....180 degrees from each other. Yet both are reporting essentially the same story.

I don't prefer unity's source to either of those, for sure. The article is based on a report which is nowhere to be found in any of the sources listed...the only thing I was really able to confirm is that the FAA is enforcing a no-fly zone above the plant without saying why ("secret security reasons" was the statement given...).

But, I personally feel like the difference in "political slant" between the news stations are played up to give people the illusion that they have a choice in what they can trust. I know that it's reaching into conspiracy territory, but the American news media operates mainly as corporate propaganda, and the person at the top of the corporate chain is always going to protect their power, which most always means bowing to/working with political power, even if that means keeping a story quiet.

Local news is almost always affiliated with the corporate news chains, such as the one you mentioned was CBS affiliated.

I'm not saying unity's source is reliable, I was just commenting on the relative reliability of sources like Fox News and CNN to sources like unity's. I don't feel there's much of a difference.

Ok...to each thier own. My life views are far less conspiracy oriented. If you don't believe 2 major news feeds and any local affiliates, where do you go for what you believe to be reliable news sources?

I read FOX and CNN as well as MSNBC...and then there various newsfeeds of Reuters & the BBC available through Google. As far as I can tell, none of them are reporting anything even close to the original claims. From a purely human standpoint..any one of those organizations would jump at the chance of breaking a story like this.

Which makes me doubt its veracity.
