News are made for propaganda and for social opinion

I agree with you. I try not to watch too much news. Media is mainly propaganda in almost every country. I actually prefer to watch Spanish or European news over US news. Too many lies on US news. Word of mouth news from true sources are crazy sometimes. They don't put everything in the news but I still prefer it over US news which is super censored and more selective.

Yes , cause it is a way on how we can know what's already happening in our world.It is also a way to communicate to others  ....

Yeah I still believe in news but not to all of their reports also it depends on who is the reporter and from where they belong. Media is still useful and to not totally believing with all of them is a kind of being ignorant about the truth. Let us always give a chance to those that have a heart to deliver the truth even the their lives is the cause.

News makes us passive. They mainly tell us about things that we cannot influence. The daily repetition of news about things that we can do, breaks us as long as we do not accept pessimistic, full of sarcasm and fatalism, the view of the world. In psychology this is called "learned helplessness". It's a small stretch, but I was not surprised to learn that reading the news at least partially contributes to the depression.

Yes I believe in the news in the TV because they are reporting what is happening around us crime,accident and everything

even when I believe they are sincere their ineptitude stays the same, if i'd score people who know what the fk they are talking about on a scale from one to ten, media takes 0.5 which is "not knowing more than it's possible to not know"

Although news is an important source of information, i still do not believe in news immediately because there are news that are not true like fake news.

Unfortunately we can not say that media is independent. I think there are no absolute categories at all in the world. It is important to analyze news, not to blindly believe.

Well, of course, I think I like to study what is happening in the world, and the news is well curved about all the problems in our world, so it's interesting to know.

We need to change every politician in next elections

Yes I believe in the news because of the news we can know what happenings around the world , the new places , new things , and it gives us the warning if there is a storm etc.

Media or news served us truly , some of us just blind because of the internet , some say media is fake , how we can say it's fake if our parents watch them and still believes and why you still want to look for news if there is suspended for class.

Some of them are independent, but noone watching them, most popular media belong either to international corporations or getting bought by corps.

News could be a way to brainwashed so i think you have to select the right news to trust. Don't be a donkey.

Nope, there are under the control of some big guys, and ,most of them are never trustworthy.

I beleive in the news especially those news about the real-life happenings. Mostly, media are contolled by business tycoons, politicians and the government. Believing on the news is still the viewers choice. If you are a wise viewer, then you'll know what to believe or not.

actually he is sometimes just a public liar especially among entertaiment and artist, I myself also do not really believe in the media, although there are some media also featuring only impressions of facts. we must choose wisely

If we think of TV news, we can't trust them all.Most of them recevie a large amount of money to write out all kinds of nonsense and falsehood about famous people.Of course, there are news on TV that have been checked and we can trust, but for everything we need to be careful because the media is a miracle...

There is one news agency I still believe in - the BBC. However even the BBC has been accused of bias in a number of situations, not sure if these are baseless or not. Most of the other news agencies I would be very careful listening to, many have clear bias and sensationalise where possible. People want noisy, dirty news, not happy stories of success. They want crime, immigration etc as headlines.

Currently the media that we can trust is very limited, because the media have business interests in the media company. We know that all parties can publish any news by paying some money, this is no longer a secret, all people of course already know. But we all hope all media are not like that, to maintain the level of public trust in the media company. If the media cannot we believe or other words have started to play cheating in the way I said earlier. Certainly the company will be destroyed even bankrupt.
