Was it Thomas Jefferson who also said that a stopped watch is more accurate
than one which loses 1 second a week?  After all a stopped watch is exactly
correct twice a day while the other one is hardly ever correct ( you work
out the correctness frequency which must be of the order or once every 100
years!).

So it is with newspaper readers.  If you don't read them you will 'miss'
even being aware of most events that might or might not have occurred. From
personal experience I know that reported events are correct sometimes. At
least readers can be aware of proposed events that might have occurred and
know at least one version of what may and may not have happened.   They can
examine the presented evidence and, in most cases, look to other sources to
test what is being said if they so desire.  Same applies to Video which,
Carl, you seem to think is the ultimate in the presentation of 'the truth'.
Clearly you do not follow 'Media Watch' on video which demonstrates untruths
on Video! Quite a paradox for you eh?    How one could proceed with your
suggestion to ask THE REST OF THE WORLD re 'the Hoax' beats me as does the
way you have come to the conclusion that 'the Western Imperialists' have no
idea what the rest of the world thinks of them.  I would be interested how
you determined (1) who specifically are the Western Imperialists (2) How did
you determine what they all think ..did you see each on video or, not
believing newspaper data, did you personally interview 'them' all ... or
..is what you say just a complete figment of your imagination.  If the
latter is correct then I'm afraid that I, for one, in the absence of any
evidence from you whatever,   put NIL credence on your thesis.  Fail !!!
