I for one is sick of all the bombing of ads and all the propaganda they have on TV Programs and TV Networks. Youtube is the source for me. For online I try to stick to AP.

I am not surprised that online news is trusted more. TV stations are owned by some very wealthy people with some very strong opinions and political agendas. In all honesty, I haven't sat down purposefully to watch the news on TV for the last 12 months.

Plus I can tune into the news that is relevant to me, for free, any time I want. Doesn't the internet just rock?

Media News Stinks!

With all the sensationalism of Nancy Grace and Bill O'Reilly, it's no wonder why more people rely on the Net for accurate news.
I never read a newspaper save for maybe one or two headlines, then I log on to get the real story from independent websites and blogs.

The FCC should really crack down on all the yellow journalism going on because misinforming the public can be very costly. For example, the online predator panic was proven by researchers to be way overblown. Nevertheless, it has caused a lot of unfounded misery with families.

Americans need to stop allowing media to do the thinking for them and start doing research before they make any important decisions.

Good article.

online news

I agree to your article about online news more reliable than tv news. One reason is that the online news are first hand experience by the author. Second, there are tendency for the TV news to modify the news due to communication restriction or the editor itself are now aware of the importance to the readers.
