your faux 'trendy' bag supports terrorists. is that a good enough elaboration for you?
besides, believing something said on such mainstream media is just crazy.
dont we all want to hear both sides of the stories, gather our info and then draw our conclusions?

I wasn't confirming what I saw on TV, rather I was trying to get more information to have a conclusive and valid opinion on the topic. They made it out as if it's the ultimate truth WITH NO EVIDENCE. I'm a Media and Communications major, don't start your mouth-off because you assume I whole heartedly believed what I saw. Chances are, I've written more papers and read more on the topic of bias and lies in the media. I simply wanted to see if anyone had a valid source of information for such a claim at the time I wrote that reply.
Certainly what you said may be rational and plausible, but your claims were unsubstantiated. Feel free to rebuttle, but include a reliable source of information. But from the quick research I've done, it does seem to be the case in some (...very little) of the investigations.
I don't mean to make this topic personal, sorry to everyone else.
