Do you believe the news ?

[thenameisjay]

I believe in media when they are broadcasting side stories, but when it comes to national issues, i dont. Most of them are slightly bent in favor to those that back them up which is unreliable. They exposed those that doesnt affect them and try to hide their dirt. Just think about this, do media broadcast something bad about them?

I've always believed the news when I was young but when I grew older and stayed longer in this country of mine, I'm starting to think that the media is manipulating what they want to release to the people. They tell the mass that our government is the besg government there is but it's actually collapsing from the inside. They're just hiding the dirt.

No, I do not really believe in the news media because many are lying and much of it is governed by politics. Many government officials are organizing the media to raise their political parties.

[LydiaBob]

They are all owned by a political party that's for sure. I don't believe the media, when I want to learn the news I read many sources

[Jamjamz30]

Or do you think media is independent ?

There are few things that true in the news, because they are good manipulators. Where all things they can change it from real information turn into lies or fake news. But I'm not saying all media is like that but there are some of them.

[Astrilian]

I never trust just one source or channel. Combining various sources and channels reduces the risk that I take opinions or fake news for facts

[Tabanta]

Stuff on the news isnt necessarily wrong, but  many important events arent even shown.

[Maria_Martin]

50/50..I think that there is some truth in what they say in the news. But only the part.. The government always wants to expose the state on a good side.

[Semar Mesem]

I believe with the mainstream media because there are controls from related institutions, now many fake news circulating freely and of course we must be vigilant and always check all the existing news.

[RoronoaJorah]

I don't, Back in the 90's, our former president declared marshal law. Only he controls the media, they show only good things, they execute those people who disgrace our government, they don't show us the problems our country faces. But know, as our new president arrives, all the bad news are showed to us, that our country is in poverty because of political reasons.

News are overrated. Think about this: news are just information relayed by people in charge of this activity. Process takes time, and is costly. Usually, news are accompanied by advertising, in order to keep the newsfeed rolling. There can be conflicts between the ones giving money to the press, and the news the press release. On smart guy once said: "buy the rumours, sell the news". The real informations are the one you don't hear of. When you hear of something, it's usually too late 

[Matamu Picek]

I believe with the news especially tv, because before the broadcast has been verified by the censors so that all the news that aired can be trusted.

[rockyfeller]

Media are independent they can publish the news that they want weither it's good or bad. they want to show to their netizens what's happening in the world.

[Boys27]

I believe the news but if I hear the news then I check first whether the news is true, because now many hoax news

[Stephgmnl]

I stopped believing the news already,  specially they are manipulated by the people,  government with personal interest who wants to influence people and wants to make them believe of their lies.... Sometimes we dont know the truth because this media is feeding us lies... But where are we going to get the truth and updates about our country? God bless the world... 

[Geyt Used To It]

Most news has a spin on it one way or another. Some YouTubers out there are 10 times more reliable but even then, you have to look into things yourself and keep an open mind. Keep this in mind when reading and researching news. If you lose an argument and facts have gone against your beliefs, you may have lost but the TRUTH has won. All in all, truth matters more than your beliefs.

[umit668]

Media nowadays is getting more and more compeititve as they are fighting for the attention of people around the world.
They would often create clickbait titles or exaggerate an event in the hopes of getting viewership
To this extent, its evident that news is becoming less and less reliable.

[nwahshearthiad]

Not entirely all, i think on any country there are medias that are controlled by the goverment, or other high ups for covering is really happening in order to protect their reputations.

[ninjacrack]

Maybe, because sometimes it's true, but sometimes its fake. But sometimes the news is controlled by government officials or other private person who is in a high position to do not know people what they are hiding

[SugoiSenpai]

Yes media is independent, every people can have different perspective on things, so it is better to be an active audience specially when it comes to news. Sometimes news can be false, and the only way to know the truth is by looking at the problem yourself. As i've said media is independent, all people have different opinions, so why not have your own as well and search for the truth as well.

[JaRViZZ]

There are only a few independent media in my country. The rest belong to the authorities, which tells them what to say and show. So I do not trust them.
