<< i don't trust our government or media. >>

First, you need to learn how to understand what you are reading.

There are tons of news sources in this country, representing all different shades of conservative to liberal. Most news releases and coverages are either verified, or swiftly condemned. In fact, when members of our major media outlets make a mistake, or misrepresent the news, there is usually a big stink about it.

There ARE checks and balances.

If you don't like this type of news or media system, it has got to be because you don't understand it, or don't know how to understand it.

i only know what everyone else knows. there was an israeli on board, but i doubt that had anything to do with it. you never know though, right?

I hate the situation. As an American I hate the feeling of being beholden against my will to some foreign blood-feud I have nothing to do with, and do not have any clue how to resolve, but which sucks the life out of our political system. In fact, after decades of contemplation it is my absolute conviction that US involvement hampers any such resolution, as such involvement immediately becomes more important factor to all sides than the original conflict, making it unresolvable UNTIL the US removes support.

i don't trust our government or media

Another widely-shared fact, which is even more damaging to the Republic.
