[QUOTE="MorkandMindy, post: 74730642, member: 172332"] The lies are what has always irked me, particularly lies from the media which many people despite the evidence, continue to believe and use as the 'factual basis' on which to base their decisions. One person I know raised the point: 'how else do I know what is going on?'. It really doesn't matter how bad we know the media is, people will continue to believe it. There have been a number of TED talks in which the audience have expressed opinions and the speaker has provided the actual data which runs exactly contrary to the commonly held beliefs. The same problem as besets the media of wanting to get attention and therefore exaggerating or being flatly wrong, also affects TED talks, but there are umpteen comments below so they get caught out if they tell porkies.
