Will anyone ever trust TV media again?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I mean for getting news? If some miracle occurs and the right wing loses its stranglehold on the media, will you watch it? Or will you do what I do, and stick to getting my news from the Internet?

1. In a word NO! Not unless they pack the news shows with all new people

who aren't proven liars.

2. I'll always check on the internet first!

I'll probably never completely give up on TV news because I like to know what the general public is being told. But I'll always look first to the internet for an accurate portrayal of what's going on.

3. Nope.

4. "A liar can never be believed-- even when he's telling the truth"

They blew it-- big time. I'll never trust them again.

5. Nope - Cheerleaders for War is Unforgivable

they've lost all credibility and are becoming insignificant more and more each day.

6. I Never Trusted...I Just Gather

There's no one source I fully trust. Everyone has an agenda and when I go on that website or turn on that network, I recognize that agenda and ajust my information gathering accordingly.

The Internet is just one more source I use...I still read newspapers daily, magazines weekly...and now can augment that information with sites...right and left...that fill in whatever gaps I might have. I know others do this the same way.

Maybe the bigger question is how can we deal with a more diverse media world where information really can't be fully controlled...and how to determine what is real and what is spin.

7. I haven't watched deliberately since 11/02/04

And what I've caught accidentally has only confirmed me in my resolve never to watch again. Everything they say is either worthless bullshit or lies.

8. Shirley, you jest.

9. i used to be a tv news addict (in a good way)

but now i've changed all my viewing habits effortlessly. i don't watch any of the sunday morning talkshows, rarely tune into CNN, or the other newscasts.

I get my internet news from this site, the globe and mail, the guardian, huffington's blog, and a few other blogs. I trust these sources.

the mainstream media helped me get over them. It's hard to see how they could get my interest back.
