Things get leaked to the press every day, which in turn leads to more questions asked by reporters which is where the facts come out.
Today there was a perfect example of how the main media outlets refused to run a story that makes the president look bad. Today the Obama administration released 1.6 billion in military and financial aid to Pakistan, something that will be very unpopular with many Americans ever since we found out Pakistan was hiding Osama Bin Laden.
How did I find out? Somebody mentioned it on another fourum I check out and after doing a Google search, the only media outlets reporting it so far are FOX and Al Jazeera. The rest may eventually mention it but none of them seem to be in much of a hurry. In my opinion we shouldn't give another dime to Pakistan, and a lot of other people feel the same way. As I've said already, I dislike network news more for what they "don't" say.
