Quote- "No one that I know about ever actually did the things which were portrayed in Wag the Dog.  So.......that means that it's just a story."

I never said the movie was based on actual events, but it seemed to match with what you were talking about and is a fictional story about the abuse of spin and altered images produced for the news.

Now isn't it amazing that the original films of the moon landing have been lost(gone). How do you lose some of the most important film recorded documents of all time? Or should we ask why? Some wonder why there are people that don't believe the moon landing was real(it was all fake). Now then why has there never been a picture taken since that time of the moon buggy or the flag or the junk they left there when they say they can supposedly see the texture of an orange from space on earth(and they have sent things to look at the moon but pictures of that were not important in the face of growing scepticism)? It's stuff like that, it feeds the fires of disbelief. Then there is the absence of a thruster blast hole under the moon lander in photos or even dust on the feet when they explained the surface as a soft powdery substance and showed their boot prints in it. I wonder myself sometimes. The rocks could have been gathered from asteroids that impacted our home planet so yes they may have come from outer space. 

See the power of "spin"? It's powerful in the absence of solid touchable proof and always will be. Everything I said is true as far as I know. :)
