Do you really want me to dig up more links....lol

Sometimes there are no stats on how many times the mainstream lies to the people, but I'll find some examples ok.

And after I give some examples will it be ok if I finally take a rest from doing all this homework to prove to you that the mainstream media has been spinning stories and that's one reason why more people are turning to talk radio or alternative media.

Sure, if you find unbiased sources that state the mainstream media lies and spins stories to fit their agenda, resulting in "more and more" people turning to talk radio for their news, you can declare yourself the winner.

Russia Today is a very unbiased source of media...this article is about the influence of the mainstream media in America and how they don't always tell the whole story...

Whose news is it anyway? | Untimely Thoughts | Blogs, RT info - RT

'The US badmouths the entire world when it suits its own purposes. In the American mainstream Israel has long been protected, Iraq was once the world's enemy, and now Iran is. Russia refuses to kowtow to western geopolitical and economic interests, so it is covered in the worst possible light. Meanwhile, American-sponsored autocrats and dictators are given a free pass.
For decades Washington and America's media establishment have dumbed down political debate at home - and expected the rest of the world to follow. When this does not happen, it is called anti-Americanism.
This is the standard hypocrisy of a country that habitually lectures others about media freedoms. While this isn't new, the fact that it is now drawing multi-viewpoint commentary in English is.'

Your first link connects to a blog, which is simply someone's OPINION.

Your second link is to an interview with Rory O'Connor who gives his OPINION on the media.

No winner here....
