About This Quote

The media insists on taking what someone didn't mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did. The media prefers to take the word of someone whose version of an event turns out to be different from what actually happened. The media seems to think that they are in a position to judge whether what someone said is true or not. This is because the media has its own agenda, which is to make money. By doing this, then, they are in effect siding with the person who they believe is telling the truth over the person who is telling them something different.
