>And how can you be sure that anything you find on him is NOT 'controlled' in some way by the media at large???

You don't.

How can you be sure you, like, really exist at all, man??? Or that you're not living in an experiment designed by the mass media without your knowledge, exposing you to news stories to see whether or not you believe them, because, thats how they know the stories are good enough for fictional situational television shows sindicated to some other dimension, man???? Maybe *YOU* are the news story in some other place??? Think about it, have you ever, like, been to Jupiter????? it could be that Jupiter is the Earth with a big mask on... whoah...

Anyways, whoever controls the information is unimportant because it still doesn't mean the information controls me, thus the loop is easily broken.
