All That Other Home Stuff 
No Comments Facts, Opinions, Distortions and the News
The more I learn on what is actually factual as opposed to the blatant opinions and distortions of information; the more I’m glad I got rid of cable TV. On the Internet, you know you can’t trust half or more of the information posted as being factual because so much is opinion based.
That is part of the joy of living in the world these days. It is quite challenging to separate fact from opinion especially with all of the intentional misinformation and disinformation. Whatever happened to honesty is the best policy? Oh well.
One of the intriguing stories out there was about a guy whose skin turned blue. In the news articles and TV stations, colloidal silver was blamed as the cause. However, it turns out that the Blue Man may very well be a fraud. Unfortunately, this is nothing surprising as lying for money and manipulating others has become so common.
So did colloidal silver have anything to do with the guy’s condition? Yes as a targeted topic to try to discredit through the mass media. Otherwise, the answer is no as the links above go into the details. The guy did this to himself intentionally.
Take a guess what industry would benefit from the bad press. If you said pharmaceutical, you would be correct. Now who pays for those commercial slots on those TV stations? Oh yeah, plenty of them are about drugs you are supposed to ask your doctor about. Hmm, is that a coincidence? Nah, it is not at all. Of course, pharmaceutical companies would never use their advertising dollar leverage on a media source. Yah, right.
Anah
