It's not apathy, in my case anyway.

I didn't vote because the answer is more complex than the options offered, and by choosing one of those my true take on the matter would be misconstrued.

Some examples:

answer = 100% 'Some people believe *everything* they see/hear on TV/radio

answer = 80% 'In a survey, respondents said a large majority of information given by TV/Radio outlets can be taken at face value'

answer = 60% 'Respondents to a survey indicated that most of the information they consume on TV/radio is true'

answer = 60% 'respondents to a survey indicated that a slight majority of information presented on TV/Radio outlets is true'

answer = 60% 'respondents to a recent survey indicated that nearly half of the information presented on TV/Radio outlet is false'

I could go on but I think you get the idea

I strongly suspect there are many others who feel the same.

True. It is complex, demanding a far more detailed questionnaire. But, I suppose I was looking at an overall attitude in general. I do appreciate that the sum of the parts if greater than the whole, but I guess I was looking just for the "whole". It is a multi-faceted world we live in, with change coming as never before in our modern times.

I was also hoping that in the milieu of discussion it might in turn, cause others who take media to be, the all, and end all of truth...which it is not!

Q
 
Even when it comes to a source like the AP, you should still always go and do your research, confirm the validity of what you read and hear as much as is possible. I teach college and that's what I tell my students, always reach deeper to find out more information, always ask why? questions, and do your own research using many sources that cite the origin of the data they're using. Most "news" on TV is just opinion, which is to me useless.

Watch CSPAN one of those days when they turn on a camera in the Congress and leave it running all day to the point of watching an empty podium during breaks. At the end of the day watch or listen to one of the big networks' description of the day's events. Every time I've done that it was obvious that they are neither unbiased nor trustworthy.

Hi Quadman, I voted 40% because I believe about 40% represents the local news & weather reports that aren't deliberately slanted to push an agenda.

It seems to me that the further from home the news being reported is about, the further from the truth it tends to become.

I guess I'm a bit surprised to see that we have gotten to the point to where some people think that the weather reports are pushing an agenda. What is the agenda? I guess if you are a climate change denier then increasing storms and their violence creates cognitive dissonance that you have a hard time explaining away.

I believe that all media, and many other things, are collectively controlled by a globalist group of certain individuals who are of the same background. The media, hollywood, most politicians, and many corporations are owned, and, not only is the media purely propaganda, but the events they report on are scripted and usually false flags or performed with crisis actors.

Certain facts may well be true, but they may be for a different purpose than described.

I recall watching a Senator on CNN last summer stating over and over exactly the opposite of what his testimony was in the Senate hearings on CSpan.

That's why their ratings have fallen 90% over the past year and producers are getting fired and quitting over child sex scandals.

These are the things that are driving the publics distrust of media.

The funny thing is they (@Poultrygeist ) was probably talking about the other teams news network :rflmao::rflmao:

I watch both for entertainment, flip back and forth, if they happen to be talking about the same thing at the same time it is the jackpot for silliness :crazy::crazy:
