How much do you trust Media?

[usy]

Taking the chat from "greatest country" forum to here.

How much will you trust the news that comes on TV about the same bad things happening in the world all the time, or what the gov. says, or anything?

I trust myself quite a bit

Specific places I believe. The independant news organisations, but you cannot trust newspapers anymore, particularly in the UK.

I definetly agree with you on that

I don't trust the media at all. Just alot of twats looking for a quick bullshit story to make a buck or two.

There are odd journalists around who are fairly trustworthy and good at what they do, but the majority are pricks that will do anything for the hell of getting attention.

The S*n newspaper in England is a good example.

I trust media on reports of everday news. But case studies and that are just biased and not really worth taking in. Sport media is crap - always trying to make a story out of nothing. But hey, gets me reading the newspaper everyday so its doing its job.

The Sun are more accurate with their sport stories than any other British newspaper, you will find. The rest of the news is debatable, though.

I try to avoid the S*n newspaper as much as possible for the obvious reason of them writing complete crap about the Hillsborough disaster.

They are an absolute joke of a newspaper. They're "exclusive stories" are never true or of anything you could believe.

In Australia 'The Age' is definetly the most un-biased sophisticated paper in my opinion, they tell it how it is. (even though i prefer the Herald Sun )

The worst media is those crappy shows such as 'Today Tonight' and 'A Current Affair", those shows literally make ANYTHING into a story!

Its a bit weird, a bomb goes off in Pakistan and the media dont care, someone sprains their ankle in America and its news headlines!

The editor lost his job for the handling of the Hillsborough disaster. It's like a football team. They might have been crap once, but not always.

The Sun exclusively revealed Theo Walcott's transfer to Arsenal, Duncan Fletcher resigning as England coach, Fabio Capello wanted to manage the football team and Liverpool had new American owners.

As I say, the sport side of things is spot on. The other parts of the paper are mostly fabricated though.

I do not trust them much. Especially in Western Australia. The media here is far fetched and poor. They are also really biased as well.

I trust it as much as i trust Evofan

I don't mind biased newspapers.

Its just like in a international soccer match you lose 0-4 to a team and they call it a close affair
