Social entrepreneurships, now more than ever, have their work cut out for them. With a good portion of the world at war - with themselves, with others, within their own governments - it is becoming increasingly difficult for the systems that are in place to inform and assist the public effectively. One major blockade is that the social sector businesses, mainstream media outlets in this case, are being censored by the government or due to value rubs, so nobody knows what is actually going on.

John Pilger writes in the New Statesman about The real first casualty of war: "The tragedy in Iraq is different, but, for journalists, there are haunting similarities. On 24 August last year, a New York Times editorial declared: "If we had all known then what we know now, the invasion [of Iraq] would have been stopped by a popular outcry." This amazing admission was saying, in effect, that the invasion would never have happened if journalists had not betrayed the public by accepting and amplifying and echoing the lies of Bush and Blair, instead of challenging and exposing them."

Even such prominent publications as The New York Times is having a difficult time informing the public on what is really going on. That document with all the words crossed out was a prepublication release to the CIA on the situation in Iran, and Flynt Leverett writes in an Opinion article for the New York times: "Indeed, the deleted portions of the original draft reveal no classified material. These passages go into aspects of American-Iranian relations during the Bush administration's first term that have been publicly discussed by Secretary of State condoleezza rice; former Secretary of State Colin Powell; former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage; a former State Department policy planning director, Richard Haass; and a former special envoy to Afghanistan, James Dobbins."
