The media has absolutely nothing to gain by cooperating with the government. In fact, the best-selling, highest-rated, juiciest news comes from stories about government missteps. Where are the Monica Lewinsky , Paula Jones, Abu Ghraib, etc, etc, etc cover up conspiracies? No where, because they don't exist, because the government isn't cohesive or coordinated enough to execute an effective one.

What the conspiracy people seem to be completely missing, again, is that the "government" is not one big monolithic gear. It's made up of a bunch of people who are all out to fuck over the one-up the other people. It's divided against itself in several ways. That being the case, it is not possible for it to move uniformly in one direction. The TRUTH, if that's really what you're interested in, is that you WANT IT to be lies, so that you can feel enlightened. But you're not - it's a fantasy.

Speaking of that, you wouldn't believe what I uncovered about No. 2 pencils - You're all being lied to!!
