So, What exactly is your point with this post, is it a: To somehow convince us that this video was a fake through circumstancial means. Or is it b: To tell us Americans that all that is reported by American media is untrue or at least half truths and that the fact that you say this is true makes us all ignorant? So you're assuming that all these free press and independent media outlets are without imperfections? Do they always report the whole truth, or furthermore do they report the truth? For the years of communist rule in East Germany the people rarely got any non biased or true reports of world events, in fact if something in the news made their government look bad in any way they would never hear of it. So why oh why do we Americans hear of corruption and finger pointing in our own government and military quite regularly? Are you saying there's more than what's being reported, that may be true, but the fact is there's no need. If you actually think the Nick Berg video was a fake you can believe it, but it won't mean that's true. Go find his family and tell them that you don't believe what happened on that video actually happened and then see where you go with that. There's more to life than disagreeing with everything or everyone if you see a need. Fact is there are no unbiased news sources independent or not. As long as humans are reporting the news there'll always be some sort of spin on it mild or extreme. It's up to you to sort through the bullshit, but telling us that because our media is SO partial that you feel we're completely ignorant to current events... Well you have a pretty high opinion of yourself and I feel you are in need of some deep meditation, please come down from your pedestal...
