Who to believe.

The tragedy of communication is that the industry which propels the thoughts and ideas of people to others is itself a damaged vehicle.
The BBC this morning has cottoned on to an email sent within the South East Yorkshire Police Federation so say to its members, after the police have taken a hammering in the Hillsborough verdict and moral must be rock bottom, that "you the members of the force can hold your heads high for the work you did, day to day, so many years ago". My interpretation was that the message was not directed at the police who were present in the ground but generally and even if it had been directed at the core of Bobbies serving in Hillsborough that day, it seems to me that as a collective they serve under a command and their actions are governed by that command.
It is the commanding officers and the orders they issued then and subsequently that are guilty.
I don't mind the BBC or any other media outlet, asking the question "why the email", but too often these days they act as judge and jury and more importantly they influence the ordinary man and women in the street as to what to believe.

The communication is at it again with the "trolls" lining up to cast aspersions at the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn because of his history of being pro Palestinian and anti Zionist. The sound bite investigatory interview is designed not to pursue the truth but to heighten tension, just as the newspaper headline is designed for the bulk of the readers to be egged on in their prejudice.  

Even prejudice has its roots and can be explained. We all think and express ourselves based on little or no knowledge and we all think we are right. One man's right is another's wrong and how we come to our surety had better be assumed on a broader base than what we read of hear on the media, otherwise we will be like the 'sheep' (limited understanding yet blindly supporting Napoleons ideas ) in Animal Farm, which of course was Orwell's reason for writing the book.
