Most of them are Jews-owned, or leftist-owned, and so are just pure propaganda. Some nice medias are not controlled. They're all from far-right.

What? Media's from far right aren't controlled? Are you being sarcastic? Anyway, I believe no big major media house is independent in today's time. They're all backed by big corporations hence have to take care of their interests

Or do you think media is independent ?

Most of them private companies that, even if they want to tell the truth, will not be able to do it. They distort the facts, they say only that what is beneficial for them to achieve specific goals. Among a pile of lies, there is truth, but it is difficult to discern. We need to try to look at the news from different sources

I actually used to believe whatever comes on the news but nowadays i don't even watch the news because aside the fake news that they are always spreading it seems all they do is to spread bad and terrible news just to make you worry and become stressed out.

There are a few things you need to keep in mind. Whether or not the news is telling the truth is one question. I think that more often than not the news is not lying about what it says, although that certainly depends on the country and it depends on the news outlet. Sometimes news outlets only tell one side of a story, which sort of skews the facts, so it seems like things are one way. Unfortunately, sometimes this is done on purpose to push somebody's ideals. Sometimes it's just a reflection of a person's bias, which is very difficult to avoid.

I almost completely steer clear of news in my life and I feel just fine. There are over 7 billion people on this earth and everybody has something happening everyday. There is no possible way you can get a realistic picture of what's happening on earth. You just get a fraction of a percent of what's happening in the world when you watch or read the news. It's an illusion that you can actually know what's happening. I figure if anything that's truly important to my life comes up, I will hear about it.

I'm currently a journalism student, and I spent my internship at the top newspaper of my country. I can say for sure that the news -in my country at least- should be trusted. The people I work with are full of integrity, and are definitely unbiased.

They are some of the smartest people I know, being able to tell a story about anything in a simplified manner, and that means they master what they are reporting about at first. Moreover, they are really competent and honest.

Of course, even media organizations are companies, and companies always have agendas. However, it's safe to assume that this company's agenda is for the common good of the people. I hope I'm not appearing as biased about this,but after studying journalism for years and actually working as one, I can say that the most trustworthy source of news would be verified news organizations themselves and none others.

The easiest way to avoid and fight fake news is to trust news organizations, and emphasis on the "s," as we should always look at many sources of news, not just one company, to avoid being blinded. I hope this helps.

Then you live in some non corrupt county,because in my county all big medias is full of lies as the corruption is on high level and media works for politicans against their own people i saw it everyday fake news is everywhere you need to try hard to find some alternative sites and read about reallity of things

As one saying that I heard "Trust the people but don't trust the devil inside them" similar to the news. Trust what is happening is true but don't trust that they delivering it to 100% correct.

Yes. I do believe in news. Media has become a tool to give information to people on what is happening all over the world. And ofcourse i believe in news because it only relays what is going on in our country. So what is in the news is what is happening or what had happened in country.

I don't watch the news, because I don't like it. They show only good things about our country and bad things about other ones. People who watch the news are adult, they are in their 40 or older. I don't know anyone from young people who watch the news, so I think in the future the news won't be popular.

Modern media seems to be a little reckless with validating details and filling in the gaps through speculation substituted as fact. Every day you hear some reporting and I’m like “...that’s not right!” Two weeks late they issue a retraction in some obscure portion of their news site. Oftentimes I feel like they just shotgun noise out there knowing they have so many days before a retraction is required. Meanwhile, the hyped frenzy stimulates thei traffic numbers and ad revenue, even if they know it’s wrong. This is all speculation on my part, btw.

I believe the news because information is one of the greatest asset a human being can use to become whatever he wants the reason is simple of which during last year december news said that bitconnect asset Will be frozen because it has 90% features of ponzi some people think is just a rumor but at last it happened.
To be more direct, Even in cryptocurrency news plays a pivotal role of which if one gets news of a token to be listed on exchange that person can make one hundred percent gain because he gets the news before others.
In our society at large, media is a weapon to unravel and ensure the masses are not kept in darkness ,and this brings me to the point of asking imagine how the world will look like without news coming from media?

News, in nature, should be independent and media must be free of control and dominance. The authenticity of the news and its fairness can greatly be affected by the ones who's writing it. Hence, the writer should be credible. Credibility of the author highly reflects the news he/she is doing. However, is the publisher credible enough and is the news authentic enough for us to believe in? Well, personally, I still do believe in news. And when I say thay I believe, it does not necessarily mean that we may leave alone the responsibility for the truth to media. The obligation to check and verify those information is still ours - and this includes the selective and critical way to distinguish whom to believe and whom not to since many media are fooling us by twisting, intricating, and interfering the truth for their own interests.

I don't often believe the media. A lot of times its just garbage and you have to check around on a story and do a little research to even get close to what is really going on.

Also, the media is completely biased whether you watch the left or right. They tell you what they want you to hear. They are both guilty of this. But, you cant often blame them. Its nearly impossible to present a story and not share an opinion or show it in an opinionated light, due to the fact that the people covering the story have opinions. It can be as simple as inflection of speech.

Finally there are often corporate interests involved. Its hard to stay in business with no sponsors.

yes I believe, but sometimes not. yes I believe, because of the media we know what's happening in our world or country. I believe because they are indeed proofs of the reality they are reporting. but sometimes the media becomes one-sided, so sometimes I'm not to believe. but my beliefs are even stronger .

As a rule I don't believe the news about something or someone,because some are fake news,unsubstancial news that may change our bits of learning regarding something or someone.And every so often the individual who pass on the news is bias. Just like in bitcoin investment sites that are most scams. Many are spreading joins about it however generally they post fake sites,scam site, etc.

Every media operate with licence and therefore must not be independent.
They are dependent in operating in compliance with regulations of the jurisdiction
they choose to function from.If media are allowed to work without audit or regulation,
be rest assured there would be propaganda and media high handedness.Government use media
to their own dictates most times except very few media with other agenda other than secular.

I do not really believe the news, because now there are many fake news created by the media to vilify a thing, even a people. most media only deliver news from one side only and based on what information they can, but not whether the information he received is true or not. therefore we as the recipient of information through the news must be smart filter all the information that is preached.

Journalist have their ethics, but to what I recently have learned they can easily manipulate the content of their news according to their personal agendas and sometimes bend some facts.

And am I the only one who notices that most of the news today are focused on the bad things that had happened? Well as to what they say, stories can be more interesting if it's negative news.

I suppose that mass media news mislead people instead of telling the truth. Of course, such news are still interesting to see them but they create a wrong understanding of the situation. So we should watch news sometimes but not trust them generally.

You can watch it, but critically.
