IMO, society has always tended to view itself and the world around it through a "filter" of its own making. The problem is that the truth will always fall somewhere between "The Government/Media is always lying" and "The Government/Media always tells the truth", and it then becomes our own beliefs that define where we believe the truth lies. Even the list you provided contains what I believe to be exaggerations of the facts, with a certain amount of rhetoric thrown in, but the general point that one can't blindly trust the Government or the Media is IMO true. I would add that from the perspective of many abductees, it's perhaps not just the Government and Media that one can't trust, but the "reality" we perceive around us as well.
