Love Fox news

Nope, I don't trust any of them. I browse the web looking for solo journalists and any news reports they have, and then base a decision. In short, if money is involved in the equation (which all major media sources are in it for money, none operate for free), then it's a safe bet the public is not getting the truth/facts.

YouTube is the last place to get news. MSM is propaganda paid by the donors and advertisers. Think there’s an exception? Think again.

Mainstream media is all about the money.

Have not watched TV or read a news paper since 1988, so for all I know they may be wonderful and honest by now.

I only trust PBS

Independent news reports via the internet are much more reliable these days, I find, especially if you read a few and cross-check facts and follow up sources.

Stick to the mainstream outlets, ignore 95% of what you see on Facebook, 99% of what you see in online sites/blogs (basically some guy in a room by himself), and, if it sounds really newsworthy,(tRump in murder/suicide pact with Putin!) go onlineand check several other national/international media outlets. nadif it still soundsover the top -snopes it. British websites and places like Reuters are usually better than American outlets for American news, but watch out for their basis as well. I stopped following a bunch of liberal sites because they were basically repeating each other with really annoying hyperbolicclickbait headlines. andconservative sites are even worse.

I still trust the MSM and I will leave it at that. I’m reading generalities, and innuendo and not getting a shred of evidence that msm has it wrong. Show me. References to TYT isn’t enough. They are annoying af to watch, they go off on tangents, occasionally have side conversations. I can’t watch them anymore. I check multiple sources and verify certain statements. I also listen to NPR all day. I’m basically satisfied. This is a non issue perpetuated by Trump. He’s as useless as tits on a bull.

Outside of the Onion and your local weather forcaster, what use are they? Really?

The telecommunications act of 1996 is basically an update to an existing law, in keeping with First Amendment rights, I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. It also nicely dovetailed with the explosion of the Internet; the time had come and there was going to be no stopping that train. It was initially enacted in 1934. In 1996, it was updated by Congress. It’s not Clinton’s. He signed the bill that Congress updated. We never heard of fake news until Trump came on the scene and he’s a shrewd mother jumper because he’s always been good at scamming. Just look at all of his failed businesses and his bankruptcies; he’s a Con artist; he is a professional Con artist. Someone has done a Poll here asking do you trust mainstream media ? The results do not surprise me. People are jumping on that bandwagon without really understanding in my opinion what they’re actually saying because there’s no concrete examples for supporting the idea. On the other hand, rather than accepting the news from any sources, do any of us check multiple sources or weigh the likelihood of it being true or even plausible or checked for verification? There is some fact checking but we need more. Saint Bonaventure University is a very prestigious and respected journalism school not far from where I live. I know that true journalists are held to a higher standard with expectations and they risk losing their jobs or reputations if they are not credible. Good news organizations make public corrections. Fox and Breitbart are not in that group. This fake news term is overused populism not vastly different from Hitlers reign. He controlled the news. Trump would love to control the media and he has already sewn seeds to confuse people. Trump is the spin doctor who is assisted by Fox News. They work well together, cut from the same cloth. Just look at Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, the operations power behind Fox and the owner, respectively.
I could go on but I’m trying to stay on point.

Trust MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post and NY Times and NPR and PBS

I’m going to sit this out from now on. I’m reading a lot of generalizations , and zero evidence from anyone.

Inherently flawed, because advertisers and individually biased editers control content.

I am freaking loving Reuters, but I have broken away to read other things.

The major newspapers and television networks have a pretty good track record.

I don't think they lie, well except Fox, but they chose what to show me based on their agenda. They also give their slant. They are run by corporations who have their own vested interest. This was so evident with Bernie in the primaries

I follow very particular independent media.

I don't trust Fox whatsoever.

Absolutely not

I trust some more than others, but I trust none of them absolutely. I generally have very little faith that what we're being told is the truth. That's not to say I think we're being lied to constantly, just that I can't really know. I know the media outlets have good reason to lie, and the power to get away with it, at least some of the time. And as one other commenter said, it's all about . If they can spin up a story, embellishing certain facts and telling a bunch of half truths, and that'll get them twice the views, I have no doubt they'll do it.

Some things on mainstream are fair and I don’t believe every single person on air is corrupt, but I certainly believe there is corporate control and bias. Certain networks are worse than others.

If everyone spent the time they spent watching/reading the news learning something new, working out, or even just on a hobby everyone would hate a lot less and would find themselves more productive and happier in the long run. I don't even watch the news I agree with and don't think there are any benefits to do so. Modern media is just an echo chamber of misinformation and political manipulation across the spectrum. They have no interest in creating well informed citizens.

Sadly I have a hard time watching main stream media without feeling like they are trying persuade me to think a certain way about the issues reported. Where can you find an unbiased report about what’s going on in the world??
I do find it interesting to watch news reports from other countries.

Even the ones that I trust, I am still on the alert for any other information that might be available. One person cannot ever have all the facts.
