Can you agree that the media is a double edged sword?

    Yes..it's akin to the Native Americans phrase "White man speaks with a forked tongue" - means to deliberately say one thing and mean another or, to be hypocritical, or act in a duplicitous manner. In the longstanding tradition of many Native American tribes, "speaking with a forked tongue" has meant lying, and a person was no longer considered worthy of trust, once he had been shown to "speak with a forked tongue".  (Donald Trump main character) This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at May 9, 2017 9:15 AM MDT

    Yes, if the negative edge, so to speak, is sharper; although it's not like swords are normally used for anything constructive either way.
