During our years of research and investigation, we have become aware of the absence of in-depth treatment of the unexplained by the main stream media. No doubt, all of us have questioned at times just how much is left out of the news, and how the news has been fabricated to reflect various agendas as well as cover political intrigue. Every thinking person should question the assumption they are getting the "facts" and the "truth" from the major media outlets of television, radio and newspapers, and ask: am I getting the truth in what I see on the six o’clock news and read in the daily papers? Most of you will agree that at the very least, the major media does not delve into the specifics behind any of the news that they report. In by-gone days, and in limited markets today, reporters did on the ground investigations that often took months, even years, in order to write the news. In this way, news is history, and is a significant element in our decision making process. In the media age of the 21st century, most reporters are entertainers, or "talking heads", reporting news written from major wire services and limited interviews with the cause celeb of the moment. Public opinion is dictated by what a very small number of global news markets want to tell you. Furthermore, we are not the only group of people who have tracked the decline of media integrity-Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, Ben Bagdikian and others have documented this dire journalistic situation for decades.
