Unfortunatelly those who control the medias on the modern times use it as bargaining chip, they will spread lies if they are paid for or if it attends their own interests. Even alternative medias are sometimes very shady and try to manipulate readers wrongly, so the solution isn't only to suspect mainstream media, but to analyze very well everything you are reading, looking the details and searching for more sources to see if that is legit or not.
However, I think we shouldn't avoid reading anything, there isn't problem in reading, we just need to be aware that what we read isn't always true.

yes you are right, it's what I was trying to explain, to just be aware that 99% of the news has always an objective, but, yes, definitively, we must not avoid reading, we only have to understand if the news are legit or not
the thing about 99% of the news from ALL bitcoin news sites is that they are just like the signature spammers on bitcointalk!
they are getting paid when you visit their website by having lots of advertisement there usually if forms of banner ads. and when people visit their stats increase so they can charge more for that ad space.
as a result they currently post lots of what is known as "click baits". they create some subject like that encourages you to click and read the bullshit and increase their "stats" so they can earn more money.
