Ethics lesson

Seeking the truth is a noble endeavour but how often can you really find it?

Truth: the first casualty of war. If you believe that does it mean you should always be extra sceptical (cautious) when considering war reporting? Can you /should you ever trust war reporting to be fair, accurate and unbiased?

Is it only in war that truth suffers? How often does it fall victim to political ideology, economic ambition and social exploitation. Do we have any expectations otherwise?

Do we not all have questions about whose word to trust? It seems that everyone has their own truth. Maybe truth is a cause that you believe is so important to advance that spinning, concealing or lying is OK. True to a cause.
