Well, many decades of observation, I don't pick our government or the media. Truly, I don't know how anyone could.
As for Russia, who knows. At this point in time, I KNOW of less reasons to not believe Russia than I do our own government - and definitely the news media.
Infowars - not perfect, a little out in left field - at least in it's presentation. The fact is, however, it has a better track record than does our very own media - and government. Think about it.
