Which newspaper is the most crediable?

Answer 1

The best is not always the same as the most credible. In either case, I have a very high opinion of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I get to Wisconsin about once a month and usually buy a printed copy. The always seem to be factual and accurate. I think they do a good job of keeping opinions and conjecture to the editorial page.
I tend to judge newspapers for accuracy by their business and sports sections. Finance is technically difficult for most people and reporters that can do it accurately would likely be objective and factual. The Sports section requires immediacy and factual accuracy that is a good indicator of fresh news.

Answer 2

Anyone who still gets most of their knowledge about the world from the U.S. mainstream media must be very ignorant of the real world and does not even realize their ignorance. The newspapers and TV programs all speak with the same voice in matters relating to international affairs. And that voice is used solely to preserve U.S. government interest and shield U.S. image from being embarassed as much as possible. The news media only tell you the bits that they want you to know. The most laughable joke is that the U.S. media actually claim to be independent and free. Listen to almost every story they did regarding any issue the U.S. had with another nation over the years, epecially those that the U.S. government are not friendly with. As soon as the U.S. government says something, every outlet in the mainstream media spreads the words as if they were facts and repeats them as if they were gospel. The most typical and blatant examples of these are found everyday in the New York Times, CNN, Time magazine, Newsweek magazine, and the big network news programs like ABC, NBC, CBS. The tone of the language used for the U.S. side of the story has very little doubt, very little sarcasm, very few negative insinuations, and very little skepticism.

But when the words come from a "rival" of the U.S government or one that doesn't jive with U.S. interest at the time, at best the U.S. media will give it the minimum exposure possible and made sure it is mentioned in a way that most people who are not careful readers will simply miss it. But even then, they will still use every writing technique they know to cast tons of doubt, sarcasm, and skepticism upon anything that seems to go against U.S. interests at the time. One such common writing technique is insinuating that the opposite is actually true without making such a statement in a straightforward way. Insinuations are often used, through structuring sentences in a certain way and placing labels with negative connotations, to give readers an impression precisely because a straightforward statement of the same message would be easily seen as an obvious lie.

So, whenever I hear the media promoting itself as "independent and free", I always ask: independent from what? Free from what? From my observations over many years, the only rational conclusion is that the U.S. media is the unofficial fourth branch of the U.S. government.

And any "news junkie" who THINKS they know the world from the mouths of the media, without actually venturing to the outside world with an independent open mind, is even MORE ignorant than the journalists that feed the news to them.
