    So true, BobH. The media is also famous for twisting things around, you can't trust a news story anymore unless you were there.

    I heard an ad on the radio from one of the big "junk" companies today.

    "we recycle fifty percent more than we put in the landfill"

    I asked my labourer what percentage they recycle, guess what he said....

    I have watched them set up shots, angles and props to boost a tv news story.

    It hurts watching these PC cleaning ads. They make matters seem a lot worse then they are, and they make miraculous claims.

    As far as I am concerned, most, if not all American television advertising and shows (especially the "reality" tv shows) insult my intelligence.
