I'd say they're not even honest what to talk of being brutally honest.. how can they be honest if they shape the story?? ..consider this example..FACT: a man died in area XYZ was beheaded.
Version1: today a man was killed in XYZ whose cause of death remains to be unknown...
Version2: today a man was killed by unknown group of terrorist(s) in area XYZ. Investigations are in hand to gather further details about the incident
Version3: today an innocent man was brutally murdered by some religious extremists.. who showing no mercy beheaded him quenching their evil thirst of human body mutilation. Govt agencies so far seem completely helpless as Perpetrators are still at large with no imminent justice in sight..
... and so on and so forth !!
you can see that the same news can be given in so many different ways but here in version 3 you 'd like to feel bad about Govt agencies compared with the first two..
hopefully u get some idea through this.. (Y)
