Yes, it's true.

It is up to each person.  If someone is interesting with politics and
he wants to choose one better evil of the evils, he can extract the pearl
from the mess-up muds.  Yeh, he can distinguish with pearl and stone, truth
and false.  However, to political ignorer, everything looks like stone.
If someone doesn't feel the need to vote for, yeh, everything looks like false.

LET'S ASSUME some politician likes the drinking and women (I'm not a sexist.)
It's his natural character.  But, he knows he is in the spotlight.  He also
knows that his natural character is not good for his political career.  So,
he will pretend he doesn't care of drinking and women.  He will 
manipulate like this forever because he will be always in the spotlight of 
mass media.  That's the INCENTIVE by mass media and that's very positive.

sorry, I'm never gonna say that "THE".
I totally understand what you're trying to say.

Let me show you how to distinguish pearl from stone.
Let's assume that someone announced about the solutions of korean economical
crisis and the announcement was written on the magazines.
If some political ignorer reads the article, he will think that announcement
is stupid lying, and waffling without any special reason.  However, if
the person - who is interesting with politics and who has been improving
his political, economical, and social sight and who has the ability to 
accurately analyze this world - is able to know how that announcement is.
That person knows "Ah, he is lying." "Oh, he is just saying what he just
memorized." "Mmmm, there is no core point in this announcement even though
he annouced this with confidence.  It is sure he doesn't know about this
issue." "Hmmm, he studied this issue seriously.  If he didn't study,
he couldn't say like this." etc..
I've examined and analyzed the economical issues of candidacies.  The words
are totally different according to each supporter, each magazine.... but I
decided the fact that DJ is almost an economic expert through examinating
of a lot of information and considering deeply.
Whether you trust my decision ability or not, is your freedom.

>Who decides "officially"?  
*******
Please examine the newspapers and magazine ask your neighbors who are familiar with
korean politics, and think about it for yourself.  Please just don't ignore that 
information easily.  No one says DJ's plan is good, better.  But you'll be able to 
feel what the article is saying even though there is no direct word like "who is 
good or better"  You'll realize this "official" judgement thing.
Whether you believe these informations or not, it's your freedom.

Here, I found something about you.  You must be unfamiliar with the situation of 
Korea.  It is sure you came to America when you were young.  I'm sorry I am saying
this, because it is a little humiliation for you.  However, above question
is too simple for all the koreans who are familiar with korean situation.
If an economist announces the support of DJ's economic plan, he cannot keep 
his job.  As soon as he announces the support of DJ's economic plan, he 
should be a "underground, movement professor" (Woon-Dong-Gweon-Gyo-Soo).
It is a real sad story.  It's a tragedy of Korea.  When can we make a free 
society where we can say what we think and believe?
