It is my experience that any issue with clear sides as presented by the media is misrepresented.
Global warming, health care, the economy, you name it. The actions the movers want their minions to take profit the movers first and foremost. It's called riding the wave.
The Dark Wraith has a great piece, along with a link to Dr. Andrew Weil, on the misdiagnosis of the health care crisis.
Dr. P.D. Scott has a similar post on the nature of the Great Game in central Asia.
Some times you can spot mouthpieces that are moved around to amplify a given signal. John Tierny at The New York Pravda is a great example. In the early days of the War on Terra he was given a weekly column on the editorial page lauding Commander Codpiece's latest manly excursion into Iraq.
When things started going not-so-good for Bu$hie Bunnypants he was discretely moved into a science column.
This week he's got an article in that prime Pravda opinion-shaping real estate singing the praises of geoengineering as a solution to global warming [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/11/science/11tier.html].
Industrial grade geoengineering is presented as a solution to the problem of heavy industrialization. Because, you know, where's the profit in making green cities, low impact lifestyles, and planting trees? Imperial problems only have imperial solutions to those that love the Empire.
