Well good media should do that. But what the media should report and what they actually do report on is another debate entirely.
I think the major difference between what you're saying and what I'm saying is that you think the state, the media or some kind of entity should be responsible for ensuring that truth is presented whereas I'm saying its up to the individual.

Clearly "truth" represents your opinion, so you shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't "quell lies" (in other words others still disagree with you). Like Captain said...

If as a society we're so stupid that we need people to define our beliefs based on someones decision that its a lie then we're a fairly closed minded society.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Sorry we don't live in a one society, one belief world anymore.
