Why do we mistrust everything we see on Tv but tend to believe everything we read?

Question

Apart from tabloid newpapers that is.

Answer 1

Books are peer reviewed, whereas TV is just... reviewed lol.  This is why you can quote from books as an academic source (references) but not TV, usually :-)

Answer 2

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction is television that should be believed because most of those supernatural incidents did happen!

Books that deal with science, astronomy, geography, geology, sociology,society challenges & changes, some of history, English literature, documentaries, cooking, art, creativity, music, dance, fitness, healthy habits, cleanliness, sanitation, hygiene, manners, class, acceptance, hardware, houseware, home hardware, computers, arithmatics, mathematics, other languages, supernatural and any book that helps people better themselves is reading material that should be believed.

By the way almost every single one of those sitcoms is a waste of brain cells and any redneck beatnik hick can sit on the couch all day and watch television, it doesn't take rocket science to do that procrastination.

Dumb people who choose to not not want to be motivated to better themselves by enriching their minds would never read a book. If they do then there would be hope because they would no longer be dumb losers!
