How much is too much?

The video shows just how little respect western media outlets have for their audience. They have done their best to sell us the unnecessary bombardment of Libya in support of the rebels their bosses have roused and armed. They have concocted disproven tales to garner our sympathies for their megalomania. Now they have gone so far as to insult the intelligence of their audience by trying to pass stock footage of an Indian gathering off as a live feed of Libyan rebels celebrating the ouster of Qaddafi. Are western media so brazen because they think we are stupid… inept… apathetic… or all three?
