in my honest opinion every so called news source out there is suspect. all the major news outlets are run by major corporations and "spin" has become a way of life when deciding how to control the viewpoint the public recieves on an issue. more often than not "news" is little more than commercialism, subtle brainwashing, or outright lying to push a particular agenda. anybody here ever see the movie "wag the dog"? if not, check it out, it'll make you think about what "news" is, how it is created, and how it is conveyed.

it's very important that we all realize that listening to what you hear, or believing what you read will get you all twisted up unless you take it all with a very large grain of salt.

Coolest thing I've read on OKP recently (courtesy of Quinn):
"when eminem gets on the cover of some teen fan zine with nick from n'sync, kevin from bsb and sisqo, it's because america is more comfortable with a white guy rapping about rapeing his mother than method man rapping about anything."
