Do you trust the media?

yes or no...and to what extent?

Personally, over the past couple years I have found it very difficult to decipher who is telling the truth. I think its obvious that there is some bias in the media. However, Im finding that this "bias" is turning into an agenda in some cases. What do you all think?

I trust them to lie....and to hype things up in an overblown way and to ignore other things alltogether......always remember their bottom line isnt truth or "making the world better", its $$$$

I trust the media as far as I can tinkle, I don't believe they lie, but the facts can be very distorted

Very seldom does the media outright lie. But they do intentionally play up some issues while ignoring others. Considering the responsibility that they have it amounts to the same as outright lying.
