To each story there are always two sides of the medal. So depending on the oppressor the media never tells the whole truth.
Yeah, but there's still a part of the news where they say a little part of the truth and that's what you need to use to based the situation. So just like what others say you need to compare same news to different medias that aired it, to be able to know and think what's exactly happened.

Take extra precautions on perceiving news from all forms of Media, Let be social media, Media Broadcasting Stations unless its a government own institution, newspapers and etc. Nevertheless exert more effort on validating these news by comparing it to one another regardless of its form or source. Most of these days, news are propaganda driven, because as we all now these kinds of news are very profitable on their part. May it be Positive or negative.
That's right sir. Don't let one news be your own way of perceiving the situation. Comparing it with other news will make you think what is the real event that happened.

Or do you think media is independent ?
Sometimes the news makes me know good information. but the news sometimes makes false news, I thought it was one of his weaknesses. many people now believe the news and mass media can be bought by money.
We shouldn't be surprised because that's whats happening everyday. Media being brought or something have an alliance to other party that's why they put an immediate hate when the news is against with the alliance they have.

I could not agree more. But this is not to mean that I don't trust the media. Of course, there are a number of journalists that report fairly and squarely. Some media reporters even risk their lives going to places where few dare to go. We heard it, we watched the unfortunate death of some journalists while performing their duties. I salute them.

But this is bad to say that there are also some bad personnel and people on the top in media agencies that are selective as to what newsworthy to aired to public. I just hate that even if the news seems favorable to me and my fellow. It is just not right ethically.
Ofcourse, media who make the news still a way of gathering information. I don't believe in them but I make this a way of getting information and basing the situation on what I know.

See those news when terrorist bomb Paris there's an immediate international report but when US made an Air Strike on Syria and lots of people died there's no new nor international report being made on our TV's.

Is there any other way to figure the truth out without newspapers, tv broadcasts, etc ?
Sometimes its good to have some news about international issues from a bunch of sites or news channels tho

No really.
I really don't think that we can find real info or truth in media.
In fact, I believe that most people today are brainwashed by media today to accept some so called ''universal rights'' or to accept that government have to decide about everything, or to believe in democracy etc.
People just accept everything they heard in media, or from politicians, without any thinking.
So sad reality.

The news shown to us are filtered and manipulated by the media. The news is the tool to fool the people and keep the truth hidden. In reality most of the news channel are owned by the same group of people who doesn't want the general public to speak against the biased government system.

There is no such thing as independent media. They all depend on whatever political views their owners or sponsors have. That's why you should never trust to a single source of information, always check what others are saying.

There are times that some of them are paid to write and cover an event.  some news if not most are exaggerated as they may. 
So I always see the news with a businessman's perspective. Wit hit, it give me the idea as to what could be happening in the background.


The medias are completely money-minded as they would only publish the news that worth them more money whether the news is accurate and precise or not.
However the medias are often interested in making news that may be extraordinary which my draw attentions of thier customers and in reality we people also

don't care about actual news rather we are eager to know about the news about celebrities, which I think is a waste of time to know. Even the celebrities are
 often complaining that the medias are getting interested in thier private affairs. Even the newspapers are bought by people so they could read about them,
rather than knowing about the issues that really make sense in life.

No,  I don't believe them at all. They are just screwing the entire situation of what really happened.
Some of them have been paid to cover up the real score.
Media is filling up people with crap. They speak in favor of the people in power rather than for the well being of the society. The news we are the tempered information which is barely correct. I always have to look out for the independent news websites that speak that spread the truth. Most of the people blindly believe in the spoonfed news.

Media in every country is their propaganda machine. That is why you get different and conflicting reports from news outlets in rival countries. Its so obvious I don't understand why people would think news is truth.
No one will know the truth though, since truth has many sides. If the one said on the news that's the truth he's lying, that might just be a part of the known truth but it will never be the whole truth. And I agree on what you said, news is just an information that you can base your opinion, you can't claim it as a truth because it's just being reported on the news. You still need to analyze things.

They all have been conquered and work to promote the agenda imposed on them... When was the last time you saw criticisms of anything the gov really want? They all moved from information to propaganda... They tell a narrative and facts must feat the narrative...

Actually I think it depends on the country. There are countries where their news is really trusted because of their dignity and theire reliability. But in some countries, the company governing the news are not reliable specially during campaign periods. The news here in our country is an example of that. Their reports are very misleading and they are doing that because they want the candidate who will gave them a big favor to win. That is why I don't believe in the news at all.
