Should we trust the news in newspapers?

Each newspaper had its own slant on the facts. If you want a credible view of whats going on you should read more than one newspaper. In reality most US news is filtered, kind of like telling the news to a toddler. If you want to see what is really going on in other areas of the world you should read news from other parts of the world as well.You can get translations of almost any newspaper in the world online. Just do a search.

Yeah , maybe we should tell then to read something else, anything else.\n\n"How do I know, the Bible tells me so." It has nice stories and its ok to believe whatever you do. I wish people would be more open to finding out what is really true and what isn't. Would you believe every word of the "Weekly World News"? "The New York Times.?Nazis?\nAny one source?

Any news item that is based on a misconception, resulting from incorrect reasoning, is a fallacy !

I don't know about where you are from, but here in England we usually have a warning just before the news telling us that some scenes may be upsetting, that is only helpful though if we see the news right from the start. I do think that news like that should only be shown after the 'watershed' about 9pm.

I think that massive variety of media allows people to find news that fits their preconceived belief system.  Especially the internet.  Michael Moore uses real articles, but fails to note they were retracted for example.

Absolutely - otherwise there wouldn't be any bad news in the world. Thats the whole point of the 'news'.\n\nNow if what they're saying is a lie, you can sue them for slander.

GREAT QUESTION! \nHow many people's reputations were ruined because the media went with a story that sensationalized an event...too many.  The retractions never seemed to get as much publicity as the initial story.\n\nWe love gossip and the media feeds off that.\nI know we have been interviewed for newspaper articles a half dozen times and they have ALWAYS gotten some fact wrong.  ALWAYS.\n\nMy grandma told me, "Don't always believe everything you hear" and she was right.

The advantage of the newspapers to TV news is that they have time to discuss and analyse the news.

I think the bigger issues with our current newsmedia are:\n\n1) Most newspapers have cut their staffs for budgetary reasons. This is true especially in their investigative reporting areas. The result? Almost no investigative reporting like we saw in Watergate.\n\n2) Partially as a result of the above, the newsmedia often simply reports quotes from sources (especially political and governmental) without doing any due diligence on the accuracy of these quotes. So all we get is the PR from the government and other political leaders.\n\nThe only hope I see is that the bloggers in the world will force the mainstream media to take on big questions. Keep your fingers crossed!

Never. Unfortunatley there are many people that are satisfied with one side of a story that they hear on the liberal left media. Could be they are just too lazy to look into things any further than their television.

The trend that aggrevates me the most is how local news is broadcasting more and more world news... only to have the world news come on right after it. Stupid... I like local news to be local news. If there isn't enough bad news to report... then report something good for a change.
