News anchor Brian Williams of "NBC Nightly News" isn't the only talking head who lies, says Faithful Geek. Fox News lies. CNN lies. MSNBC lies. CBS lies: "Because the truth is not sexy. The truth does not sell ad space. The truth does not lure in gullible viewers. The truth is that the culture of always-on news reporting encourages a stretching of the truth. Blood sells. Drama sells. Controversy sells. The more exciting, the more alluring, the better. The talking heads need to distort, omit, or invent facts to enhance their stories. Otherwise, it is just dull or appalling. We live in a bizarro world where no-spin zones are filled with spin, where newsrooms resemble movie studios. Pick a major network - any of them, and you have a good chance of seeing someone lie." More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with Faithful Geek's analysis?
