It's funny. If you really listen to the news, American news in particular, you can pick out ambiguities in some of what they say. If you know the other side of the story these ambiguities stick out like a sore thumb. While they don't just straight lie about it they bend the truth as to paint a completely different picture than what's really going on. This goes for either side. The news is run by people, and people like to exagerate.
