Americans Trust Online News More Than TV

More than half don’t trust the media

As a boomer, I tend to look

As a boomer, I tend to look at the Drive -by media (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, most major newspapers, etc) with question for the simple reason that you can see their self-serving bias.

Although being personally conservative, there comes a point where most of us (liberal or conservative) say to ourselves, "you know that just doesn't sound right," & we go out & investigate the so-called facts for ourselves.  That forces us to look at other news outlets such as BBC or talk radio. 

Online news is a whole lot "easier" to "check up on."  All of the tools are literally right there at your fingertips.

This political cycle is a good example of exposing most media for the people they are.  W'here are the tough questions?  What does "change" mean (yes, we all want change, but change for change's sake doesn't work)?  Where's the beef?

As a business owner, I have to present my products truthfully & I have to be able to back up those claims.  "News" doesn't have to be true.  It has to be expedient - often at the expense of the truth (the good things that the US troops are doing around the world, abortion, global warming, etc - don't worry I'm not getting on a soapbox).

No wonder most print media outlets are loosing revenue & Google & others are swimming in revenue!  If no-one is reading. why advertise in that space?
