The media is made up of stupid people who don't even have good language skills, despite that being the primary skill required of them, so NO, I don't trust them. They're incredibly dumb.

No I do not trust the media. However, once you realize the media has a broad general agenda and you realize what that agenda is you can apply the correct BS filter, read between the lines, and add in the unfiltered stories that don't quite make it to the mainstream from various on-line sources and come up with a pretty clear picture of what is going on.

Today, the media is segmented into many parts. I trust NPR, and foreign media. I recommend short wave, There is an online newspaper called the Scotsman, Scotland's largest paper, to everyone, as a source of information. But our own media? I dont accept it, most of the stories are shaded, and/or biased.

No --- you have to take what you hear in the mainstream media with a pinch of salt as they are known to be biased and you can see that in the news reporting. Lies and half-truths prevail in mainstream media. Sadly, so many (sheeple) are in the dark just believing everything they hear on the TV...falling in with the propaganda and being emotionally manipulated by it. Look for alternative media sources online. Always question what you hear or read.

I have no use for the Media anymore. A s a result, I no longer read newspapers, magazines nor watch the News on TV. It seems to me , that all of the so called reporters all have their personal agenda which they will ram down your throat at every opportunity. No. I neither trust nor respect the Media.

You have to be careful with the media because sometimes all they do is find something out, and stretch the truth of it until it's a big scandal. I think about what I read in magazines or watch on TV, and always try to confirm what the media is telling me.

Didn't you learn anything from the X-Files? Trust no one! But then, that was just a show (part of the media) so does that mean that we should trust everybody?
NOT! lol

No I do not, they lie to people and only print or tell what they want. There have been too many wonderful stories out there and they won't tell them. Only a handful. The media is paid off not to tell the truth in all things. Just certain things. There are people that do tell the truth out there, but they are far and in between.

No. The media's only purpose is to hypnotize young people into all being the same. The media is attempting to eliminate individuality all over the world. And, the problem is, most people fall for their mind control tricks.
