Lots of media is based on advertisement income: TV, newspapers, radio, e-zines etc. This makes news dependent in multiple ways. I prefer to pay for news, and only those news channels bringing news with more investigative journalism and not only telling what is happening (luckily we have such news channel in the Netherlands, De Correspondent). On top of that I try to avoid the double thinking by further analyses of the information I get; but it is hard to do that for all the information I recieve, due to time availablity.
Resteemed and upvoted.
