What do people actually think?
The whole american system is just made to lie to it's people to just make it catered and reformed to what they see as a society they want them to believe into.
That is what makes them sane and not go off the rails and just start going off at one other in just utter chaos.
Another Iraq: muslim going after muslim civil wars anyone?

What you see on your idiot box is not real?
Your reality tv shows not really what happened?
Oh no god for bid!

I have problem following your post. CNN is incredibly corrupt, yes. Majority of westerners actually dont believe mainstream media anymore, ever hear of "Lügenpresse"?
So I dont get your emotional appeal here.
And what does it have to do with current ongoing war in Iraq and Syria? You lost me completely there.
I never know if those problems of understanding are cultural or only linguistic...
