I feel like people use the "It's the medias fault" as a scapegoat to an issue they're afraid to face because they know that the truth often hurts and the media excuse is one that's less painful than the bold honest truth.

But this is a silly argument to begin with I shouldn't have to tell you that. That's something you should already know.
no, they don't. I don't already know this, because it isn't true.

I saw a special on genetics, and the Negrito people in the Philippines have a lot of genetic traits that lead to closer ties from Africa.
