At some point, we have to question what's going on.

Each new event brings questions about what is real, and what is perception. When did the "media" bring an eye to action of war in Syria, etc. and the attacks of terrorism in Ankara, in Berlin, etc., and when did the "media" create stories and stage crisis for audiences?

Somebody is wagging the dog, and there are plenty of questions to be answered about what is really going on.

Obviously there are many pivotal, deadly events taking place in hotspots across the globe; obviously not all news is manufactured.

But someone is, indeed, wagging the dog. If you haven't ever heard of, or seen the 1997 film "Wag the Dog," with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Deniro, it is well worth the watch – because it contains a lesson worth knowing.
