Spoiler Alert for Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9

Just how reliable is the main-stream media? Let's take a look at Barack Obama's response to the Flint, Michigan Water Crisis:

• ABC News, May 4, 2016: Obama Drinks Flint's Filtered Water During Visit to 'Shine a Spotlight' on Water Crisis.
• USA Today, May 4, 2016: Obama drinks Flint water as he urges children to be tested for lead.
• Independent (UK) May 4, 2016: Barack Obama drinks Flint water in first visit since crisis began.
• Reuters, May 4, 2016: Obama sips Flint water, urges children be tested for lead.
• NBC 25 News, May 4, 2016: Obama drinks filtered city water in Flint to show it's safe.
• BBC News US & Canada, 4, May 2016: President Obama drinks water in crisis-hit Flint.

You must see Fahrenheit 11/9 to really get a closer look at what really happened. I remember a line from the show 'Person of Interest' that goes something like: "...you're supposed to wet your lips first and wait for the symptoms..."

The moral of the story is that real local newspapers and individual local journalists and activists are better sources of news than those sources under the thumb of their gatekeeping editors and corporate owners.
