In a world where every Tom, Dick and Harry has some sort of hidden agenda, there is no room for "trusting the media".
That's not to say that there are not some out right decent and honest people in the media, but at the end of the day it really comes down to the fact that most will sell out and do as they are told to do, rather than investigate and report just the facts!
Oh well, if it happens they will say "What did we tell you", if it doesn't happen they will blame "their sources" and say how the "world is shocked" and so on.
Nothing new!
