True, I guess it'd depend on your viewsQuote:

True, there's always going to be a bit of a bias to search for.Quote:

I know there's always two sides to one story and the media often only show the side that gets the most views/money. So I'm skeptical of it.
If the source is reliable yes.
it depends
i read news a lot so i can usually tell which journalists are best to go to for X or Y story or not
generalising the media is never gonna end well for anyone involved
as a general rule yes though but you should never take anyone's word for anything, especially in america where there's no un-partisan sites (like our BBC, even though that's been accused of leanings...) as far as I know?
I'd never trust a controversh story from one site though without backing it up somehow!
I do. I just don't know, if I don't trust media, then to what should I put my trust into?
