Can we really trust the media?

Question

Can we really trust the media?

Answer 1

I don't.  Everything is sensationalized.  They only report the bad news, doom and gloom.

Even nice guys are treated badly in the media.

Don't buy the newspapers, don't watch the news.

Think for yourself and make informed choices.

Answer 2

To a limited extent.  I think if they outright lie or fudge the facts they will get exposed, and they know that.  But more and more it seems the media is getting away from its original mission of stating the news, and is instead delivering news as entertainment in order to make more money.  In this era opinions are often thrown around as if they were facts, and polemics are on every corner.  

Cable news networks are particularly bad.  Back in the 90s I used to watch CNN.  Now I can't tolerate even a minute of it.  Why the h**l did they put Glen Beck on the air?  And don't get me started on Fox News - I remember once watching when they had four correspondents in four different locations.  Were they reporting anything?  No, they were each giving their personal reactions to some politician's recent speech, and interestingly they all had the exact same opinion.

Answer 3

They only want to see newpapers and ads.....

What do you think?

Answer 5

No, we can only trust in ourselves to decide the whole story by research and fact.

Answer 6

This is personal choice.

Personally I watch several different news channels every day. I take what I hear and see lightly. If a topic gets my attention I will go to the web and look it up, reading from several different places, as well as peoples blogs etc..

Big media are bought and paid for. If the owner of whatever media outlet wants someone as president, that person will get more air time, only good air time, and negativity will not be aired, written about. All bought and paid for......same with political issues of all kinds.

This is where little, or big independent media sources come into play.  These maybe labeled as "trouble makers" on and on but typically will give there view without worrying about political correctness, the popular opinion etc.. both sides of a issue needs to be looked at, not just one.

Regardless where you choose to receive your information from, it is up to you to trust whomever.

The US government  does not deserve my trust. Lying is what they specialize in.
