Do you trust the news? Should you be able to comment publically on news stories?

Question

Ok so no one can believe what the news reports (and for that matter, what its leaving out and not reporting).

So do you think on major newspaper and tvnew sites that the public should be allowed to comment on the news articles which are released?

I think we should becase some are just full or rubbish and do not quote a source where they get their story from - so why should we beleive it, chance that they could be making it up.

What are your thoughts on untrustwortyness of the News; should the governments force News stations to allow user feedback so the public gets a say in everything?

Answer 1

Unfortunately you are right and we can not trust much of the news.  You are also right in that they show their bias by what they fail to report as much as they do when they choose what they will tell us.

Yes, the public should have a right to comment on news stories publicly but I don't think the government should force this.  I think the public should demand it or boycott the news service if we can't make public comments on the stories.
