Does the Government manipulate the Media or You

Does the Government manipulate the Media or You
Does the Newspaper, or Communication industry manipulate the Public? Does the Governmentmanipulate the media, and therefore us?

I can think of some examples.
Roswell New Mexico.- Was there a crashed flying saucer?
Who Shot JFK?
The waving flag on the 1969 moon landing...how could the flag blow in the breeze, when the Moon has no wind????

I got more. Come to class or post your stories!!
