How do you proof something on the Internet?


  1. Via text, pictures, video. You have to show your sources which according to the source will have either a high or a low credibility. If you can show contradictions within statements or flip flops of the speaker or department, this would further undermine the sources credibility. And since newspapers and organizations have a history... you should dig in that too. Then there is the question of independence and ownership of a particular media form.
  2. What is your credibility rating on a scale from 1 to 10 for the following sites with regards to foreign policy: CNN - BBC - Globalresearch - infowars - RT - name others please.
  3. My own ratings are the following: Western mainstream media credibility with regards to foreign policy = 10-20%,  RT 70-80%, infowars 80%, globalresearch 90%, independent media on average 80%. Western government media 10-20%
  4. What is your credibility rating on a scale from 1 to 10 for the following sites with regards to foreign policy: CNN - BBC - Globalresearch - infowars - RT - name others please. he wider your sources and the broader the material the closer you are in providing proof. As in your personal life, would you believe a person who has been exposed in lying again and again? Why should you then believe a media that has been busted in lying and lying again?. True, even a pathological liar sometimes tells the truth but I rather take my changes with people or sources that have a good reputation. But even the best can be sometimes fooled, makes mistakes or has a bias. Therefore it's good if you have more than one source and always investigate all claims.
A few tips:
Go to google and search with: CNN lied
Or BBC or any other mainstream media.
We live in a time where it becomes clearer every day that in our "representative democracy" the Western governments do not represent the people but the vested interests of a small but powerful rich elite of warmongering psychopaths
Most Americans don't want war on Syria and yet the American government is supplying terrorists with money, logistics, military training and weapons to murder people in Syria.
The American and German governments sponsored a coup by fascists and Neo-Nazi to take over Ukraine.
Libya was taken over by Western supported jihaddists
Since Western governments do not represent the interests of their poulation and instead supports faschists and jihaddists I consider the Western governments to be nothing else than states run by big corporations.
Which makes them to states run by fascists. Corporatism IS faschism.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further proof that in a "representative democracy" Western governments DO NOT represent their people. The German government want's to punish Russia , expand NATO in Eastern Europe while sponsoring murderous Neo-Nazi at the same time in Ukraine. Exactly the opposite of what most Germans want.

Relations with Russia: 89% having a dialogue with Russia. 9% isolate Russia.
A stronger presence of NATO in Eastern Europe?: 21% yes and 75% no

Now lets have a look at American polls taken by main-stream media and alternative media about US military intervention in Syria and keep in mind that main-stream media was lying about the conflict in Syria.
Most Americans at that point didn't knew that most "rebels" in Syria were Al-Qaeda affliated groups sponsored by: USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Israel , Quatar and Saudi Arabia and that the chemical attack were done by Western supported terrorists.
Ad yet regardless of all Western media lies:

About 60 percent of Americans surveyed said the United States should not intervene in Syria's civil war, while just 9 percent thought President Barack Obama should act.

Sixty-eight percent of Americans say the United States should not use military action in Syria to attempt to end the civil war there if diplomatic and economic efforts fail, while 24% would favor U.S. military involvement.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has finally found something that Americans like even less than Congress: the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Syria. Only 9 percent of respondents said that the Obama administration should intervene militarily in Syria; a RealClearPolitics poll average finds Congress has a 15 percent approval rating, making the country's most hated political body almost twice as popular.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was taken Aug.19-23, the very same week that horrific reports emerged strongly suggesting that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons against his own people, potentially killing hundreds or even thousands of civilians. If there were ever a time that Americans would support some sort of action, you'd think this would be it. But this is the lowest support for intervention since the poll began tracking opinion on the issue. The survey also found that 60 percent oppose intervention outright, with the rest, perhaps sagely, saying that they don't know.
Strangely, 25 percent said that they support intervention if Assad uses chemical weapons. I say strangely because the United States announced way back in June that it believed Assad had done exactly this. A large share of people who answered that the United States should intervene if Assad uses chemical weapons are apparently unaware that this line has already been crossed. Presumably, some number of these people would drop their support if they realized the question was no longer hypothetical.

Common Dreams Readers Overwhelmingly Opposed to US War in Syria: Poll
Poll received most responses out of any Common Dreams reader survey in the past
- Common Dreams staff

Mirroring a series of recent nationwide polls that show an overwhelming majority of Americans answering "No" to the question of whether the U.S. should intervene militarily in Syria, Common Dreams' readers are also strongly against the prospect of war.

According to our internal poll, which received over 20 thousand responses—the most responses out of any Common Dreams reader survey conducted in the past—results show that 89.12% of readers do not support giving President Obama congressional authorization to launch a so-called “limited and focused” military operation in Syria. Among respondents, 5.48% were undecided on the issue and only 5.4% supported authorization. In contrast, 10% of the survey respondents were non-U.S. citizens, and among them, a striking 94.6% opposed U.S. military operations in Syria.

Likewise, 87.1% said that U.S. military action would lead to deeper U.S. involvement in Syria. Only 3.67% were convinced that the strike could stay "limited".

Mistrust for the White House's claims remained high throughout the survey, with 74.2% of respondents indicating that they do not believe President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry, or the U.S. intelligence community regarding the case presented, the reality on the ground, or allegations made about recent incidents in Syria.

In addition, only 10.7% of readers are convinced there is clear and credible evidence, as yet to be detailed by the White House, that it was conclusively the Syrian government, with the backing of President Bashar al-Assad, that used chemical weapons against civilians last month.

61% said they were not convinced by the administration's claims, while 28% were not sure.

According to the survey, Common Dreams' readers are also overwhelmingly committed to letting lawmakers know how they feel about the proposed war, with almost 84% saying they would let their representatives in Congress know their opinion before it came to a vote.
