Anyone still trust anything they see in the news/media?

If you think a little about this you will know why everything you see and everything you read is controlled. If any news outlet actually tried to deliver real unfiltered news they'd be barred just like this guy.

You only see and read what they want you to see, what's the fucking point of watching the news anymore?

BAGHDAD — The case of a freelance photographer in Iraq who was barred from covering the Marines after he posted photos on the Internet of several of them dead has underscored what some journalists say is a growing effort by the American military to control graphic images from the war.

Zoriah Miller, the photographer who took images of marines killed in a June 26 suicide attack and posted them on his Web site, was subsequently forbidden to work in Marine Corps-controlled areas of the country. Maj. Gen. John Kelly, the Marine commander in Iraq, is now seeking to have Mr. Miller barred from all United States military facilities throughout the world. Mr. Miller has since left Iraq.
