As the British media recently described a caustic soda based cleaning fluid as ACID, don't trust a paper to get facts, all they want and sell is a STORY.

This is what happens when the Chinese translate into English

"Unfortunately this is not a joke but for real from this website: http://toolsmet.com/solar-panels/

"The Sunsei Solar 130-watt 16.5-volt charger is an idealistic back-up force germ notwithstanding cabins, RVs, and boats. This dominating, weatherproof solar venire provides dependable, renewable vim as an other to tumultuous and wasteful rudolf diesel, propane, and gaseous state generators. It provides force totally yr circular whenever open to sunshine. The solar venire charges multiple batteries at formerly and is intentional to act by means of your instrument or cabin's electrical scheme. It includes an structured winking indicator to show charging position, as intimately as a "Plug-n-Play" feature film, what one allows connectedness of multiple panels in seconds free from of tools or rewiring; connector wires and mounting ironware ar too included.

Accidents in firework factories are rare but not unheard of. When they happen they are always news, and rarely treated in a balanced way. Many stories lose accuracy in translation and this is possible here substitute the word "dynamite" for explosive or powder then the article becomes more credible. It depends really in which thesaurus the writer was using for the translation.

The media is a destructive force. It doesn't matter to them who they destroy, if it gets their employees some money, then they're comfortable - And that's also the same reason they feed people "what they want", and often not the facts or anything perticularly logical, and assist in turning them into blind philistines believeing all that their ethics are infallable.

They toe a very thin legal line with their misinformation considering the power they have over people, and I hope that someday a fireworks company has the gut to finally charge misaccusasions and misrepresentations of their company directly.

I completely agree. I never watch the news because all i get half the time is gibberish with the odd fact thrown in there, and even the is some times twisted.

If you ask me MDH, the firework companies should actively be doing this NOW .

I have different opinion. I think if there is news from only one media to report,and show what is bad or what is good. that is only his idea by his position. So if we want to know the real, we just can find all the news about this one,and then check it.

Thats the thing, all media forms will do the same thing.If you think about it articles, news reports are writen by a handfull of people, maybe less, and all their after is a good "interesting" story thats going to sell. Yes you could go round collecting every news report, article on a particular incident i.e factory explosion and try and piece together the few facts thats in there to get an idea of what happened, BUT all those repoters will getting the same info from the fire chief, investigators etc. IMO theres no point .When are people going to realize we wan't ..The facts,the whole facts, and nothing but the facts. NOT twisted gibberish!

"everything have two side"i think everybody know that. maybe the news is not real truth,maybe the news is control by one's opinion, but we can know what is happened from the news,and then collect all the media reports contrast with official's. that is last we get the real.example VOA,BBC,NYT............. Many of newspaper are very popular with one's country.that is why for the news are like it ,and pay attention to it.

By the way,Many of newspaper are very popular with one's country.that is why for the news are like it ,and pay attention to it. example VOA,BBC,NYT............. etc.


this is just my own opinion.

[portfire]

maybe the news is control by one's opinion

Thats the point, what we watch is controlled by one or more people with their own views and opinion's..EVERYONE'S perception on life is built on personal experience of life events, AS such we all see the world differently. Thats what makes us individual. I don't wan't to listen to one mans views on a subject with his own perception on life!!

It's the same with the government. If you think about it our country is run by a bunch of "people" with their own perception on the way the country sould be run. Is there a "puplic vote" whether we wan't a law or bill to be passed...NO......"they" talk about freedom....Freedom? Whats that then!!

I once read (yes i know) that certain US government departments were altering scientific reports before they were published, so it "fitted in" with current legislation, and someother crap i can't remember.

MY point been is that the powers that be wan't to control what we see/hear...Think about it, if scientists came up with a free sustainable power source i.e. A fusion reactor,(which i now their working on ) or something else that costs nothing to run, but produces masses of energy, would we here about it? NO because their making to much money from taxing fuel, which is well over half of what the petrol companies sell it at...When the price of petrol hit the 1£ mark, petrol was sold at 35p per liter and the government were adding 65p tax!!!!

Rant over
