If everybody takes what their governments say at face value, stuff like 2+2=5 starts happening. Their job is not to tell you the truth, and the people who have that job would rather stay close with the big sponsors, who are close with the politicians. So, for your sake, find a media outlet that doesn't have a dependancy on sponsors from your country (or a country which has such dependancy). The only way the emperor found out he didn't actually have new clothes were the words of one who wasn't afraid to be honest.
