LOL obviously he tends to overblow things, that's part of his job. However, he doesn't tend to make things up though which is why I do like to read his articles once in a while.

Mr Fisher is always an intresting read. Wether you agree with him or not. He has a habit of telling the truth in such away that it seems that urgent action needs to take place in reguards to his articles immediately.
BLUEJACKET is so correct. It is as though he is a spokesman for the US military industrail complex. Beating the drums of war to keep those defense dollars rolling in.

This reminds me of an something I read once comparing the press in China vs. US
The Chinese press has a lot of restrictions on what they can say and what they can't, which of cause causes a lot of resentments at the field level. When they were told to lie about something, they tends to do it a a very dry way that anyone with more than one brain cell can tell there is something fishy about it.
On the US side, the press also misleads readers for whatever hidden agenda they have, but they do it in a much smarter way so it is a lot harder to spot a lier and most reader might buy it.
For example, when both side want to mislead readers on how an elephant looks like, the implementation would be totally different:
The Chinese press would just put a picture of the elephant on the newspaper and state that it is a donkey, and everyone should call this a donkey, or else...
The US side would use some real expensive leans and zoom in on a fly right on the elephant's butt, and pust that picture with a real long report detaling the expedition into the wild African jungle, the danger they have encountered, and area they have searched, the time it took to hunt down this animal and the expensive equipment they used to photograph it with. They will fill the entire page with experts statements - except conveniently forget to mention that the picture was not a full picture of the animal.
End result? Most Chinese take what they read with a grain of salt and would use other news sources to verify what they say before making a decision, while most of Americans will take that US story as bible without any doubt.
Truth is always out there, just take a smart person to find it out. Maybe it is becasue I grow up in China, so I always like to read from different news sources in different languages to verify the validity of the report, but can't say that to most of the people here in US that only spent 15 minutes a day glacing through fox news
Excellent post UFO..excellent. A bit off topic but excellent. It's a fact that most Americans do not make a study of the news. Most just read headlines and the first paragraph of news articles...And casually listen to news cast on the radio in their cars.
For a nation that has unlimited accesss to the "information super highway" as someone who has lived in the USA my entire 53 years I would have to wholeheartly agree with you.
Now guys, back on topic please!

Yeah, this forum has taught me a lot about not trusting the mainstream media. Mainly because we can talk about stuff and have the expertise and independent thought to see though the smoke screens. But a few specific incidents come to mind...Firstly the supposed "damage" picture of the Saar 5 hit in Lebanon. It was shown on the news and stuff and said or assumed to be the damaged ship. However someone on here made the observation that the "damage area" was just an exhaust port and the photo was of a normal Saar 5. Also I remember the "Chinese sub stalks Kitty Hawk incident". That made it onto TV too. And I was able to see the falacies that the TV stations presented and the spin the put on it because I had superior information because of SDF.
