I am totaly agree with your commnet about news coverage. I have seen also many storys reported very differently in different countries (Germany, Uk, Usa, Turkey). The media trying to give the viewer or reader what he/she wants (Mostly using their National sensibilities) so they’ll keep coming back, and part of it is manipulation by the governement to varying degrees - from outright control of the news media to not providing news releases to those that have reported negatively on the government. It is realy sad that most people never get the opportunity to see issues from another side. And thing They have right on what they are thinking or doing.
