Question

Does anyone actually belive anything they print in the tabloids?

Answer 1

Not just on their say so. On Dispatches a few weeks ago a journalist admitted that the front page piece he wrote for one of them had been edited so much as to give a different impression than he'd intended. But we know there's people who do.

Answer 2

Some of it - I believe the bits I want to believe like most people do.

(But I also know that they make a lot of it up or embellish the truth to sell papers).

Answer 3

99% of the country beleve what they read, because they want to, this is how politics work.

Answer 5

No. They make it up and that's not nice!

The date, but I have to double check that sometimes.

Sometimes.
