Intelligence is more important than information. Recognizing things that don't fit the conclusion the informant wants you to arrive at. Books are best for that, because they have to include a lot of information as filler that the deceiving author might not recognize as contradicting his preaching. In a famous book about World War II, the author quoted Stalin as saying something so un-Stalinlike and provocative that an intelligent person, as opposed to a flunky of the ruling class as all professionals are, would conclude that Stalin tricked Hitler into attacking Russia.

Having actually been there. A lot of video that appears to show on thing in fact show something quite different and...with the right equipment and time a good digital editor can make it look like Jackie shot JFK in Dallas.
Indeed. These days, unless you see it yourself in real time, one has to assume it's been doctored. Be it pictures or video. Oh for the good old days when a photograph was proof.....
I am not sure what "days" those would have been. I thought the Zapruder film was "proof" of some kind in the Kennedy assassination. Have a good look at that and ask yourself why the people in the foreground keep their eyes turned expectantly to the left as the president's limo passes by left to right... I suspect governments have been "doctoring" crap for a long, long time.

If cruelty against wickedness and malevolence is considered as a wrongdoing, then I could consider the Americans as evil.
