Do You Trust The Media? (Why or Why not)

Yes, for the most part. I am aware that different media outlets have different political leanings and they are usually explicit about this in the UK. It is well known which outlets lean which ways. So you can expect certain viewpoints from certain outlets but you have the freedom of choice and can find a reasonable balance. The cases where the media have printed stories which were proven to be false have been in the minority. What has been more prevalent an issue here is the underhand and sometimes illegal methods used by the tabloid press to get certain stories.

I would definitely trust the mainstream media much more than some internet conspiracy peddling website that lacks the resources and the access to get to the bottom of legitimate news stories.
