How much of what the press say is to be trusted?

Question

and how much of it is liberal spin that goes faster than a cat. 4 hurricane?

Answer 1

They try to make news out of nothing depending on how much is going on in the world that day.  Remember all the stories about "shark attacks" a few years back and then when the numbers were really looked at, there was no spike in attacks from recent years.  They play it up way too much.

Answer 2

dont trust anything that you hear ...; trust what you see

Answer 3

23.576%

Answer 4

My father in law used to say "believe nothing that you hear and only half that you see".  In the case of the press I think even that is pretty generous.

Answer 5

If you believe what you hear then you should never read what you saw but if you believe what you saw you will see a film about it at 11:pm..Nobody can be trusted.

Answer 6

We like to read about rich people in the newspapers; the papers know it, and they do their best to keep this appetite liberally fed.

Mark Twain
