Remind me again, when did words speak louder than actions?
Pretty much any time it involves a large organization.
See: Federal Reserve, all PR statements made this century, US Government.
If you are more willing to believe the words of any large organization and think they are more important than the actions of said organization, when it comes to determining what they are actually up to, then you're an idiot.
Stop getting distracted by jingly keys that are the words of politicians and focus on the actions of politicians, or you are going to get fooled by obvious lies a whole lot more than anyone with half a brain. Your choice.
I'm making a more subtle point, which seems to have flown right over your head.
You asked which one 'speaks louder'. I took that to mean which one was more important. In this day and age, it's the words.
Journalists have been exposing the filth and corruption of our system for decades, but all that matters to the public is the words. You can dump poison into a river, burn a national park, kill kids by the thousands, manipulate the world into poverty, doesn't matter. The words are more powerful.
How else could you explain the continued existence (and freedom) of banksters, industrial tycoons, and tobacco companies?
