Has the mainstream media ceased to be reliable as a source of news that is true or accurate?

In the UK I have become disillusioned about the quality of news reporting.

There was a time when only the Communist media were promoters of lies and propaganda. But today (after Donald Trump decided to expose the media for what they are -- Fake News) all the Western mainstream media have doubled down on simply manufacturing news rather than reporting it. You cannot trust any of the major networks (including BBC). They would rather favor Muslim terrorists than the citizens of their own countries. Indeed, they have become the enemy of the people, and would like to see democracy destroyed and anarchy put in place. As long as they are free to publish their rubbish.

In the UK I have become disillusioned about the quality of news reporting. There is alot of needless padding, and opinion driven news rather than facts. Crucially what is left out of the news can be as important as what the editor chooses to include.
The BBC was interviewing a man who was on an anti brexit march, last year. He had his two children with him holding placards. The reporter asked him, " So what are your children doing here? " He replied that they had helped make and nail the placards together. She then replied with another question, "Don't you think they are concerned about their future?" I was flabbergasted at such blatant bias and leading him to answer in the "proper" way. This sort of thing happens all the time. I no longer trust the news on important issues.

Anyway, be good to see what you think.

look up the smith-mundt act, passed into law here in America in 1948, " modernized " by the Obama administration in 2013.

sadly no, here in Australia corporate interests reign supreme, money and capitalism above all else, they have there own agenda and it isn't good. The amount of lies, exaggeration, false narratives here is astounding. I could write a 200 page essay on this topic. Corporate will never let go of there lust for money, and this has pervaded into western culture, hence the dire state of the world now.

after all the stories about the horrible wildfires , a lot of them started by people, the media and celeberties over here in the u.s. were STILL blaming " climate change".

fake news.

those stories about people starting the fires turned out to be fake news, the police and the emergency services released a report that contradicted them, and also they gave a press conference which also destroyed the myth that people started the fire, it is climate change and lightning strikes that are the main cause

negative.


the south wales police dep. have arrested 183 people for improper burning or fire starting, with 24 of those being charged with arson.

so, no, climate change is a not a real thing.

its real because we are experiencing it, longer hotter summers, 7 years of drought, weird weather, one day 17 celsius, next day 42 celsius, winds and on it goes. Its a sign of the end times. It is no longer business as usual. Forget about capitalism, consumersim and aspiration, look to God

This is the truth.. And it is not climate change.. This current disaster has been set up by greenies and environmentalists pressure to stop yearly burn offs.. Australia used to conduct a lot of controlled burn offs of forests each winter to reduce the amount of fuel on the ground.. Doing what the native aboriginals did and still do in parts of the northern territory.. But pressure from the environmental activists and government cost reduction drive reduced the management of forests so each year the fuel kept on building up to disastrous levels..

Then came the drought drying up the land.. Australia has always had big long droughts bu this time the forests had a huge fuel load on the ground and when the fires started by both lightning strikes and pyromaniacs then the current disaster is the result..

Yes the climate change activists who caused the build up of fuel on the forest floors because burning wood releases carbon and we must put a stop to that.. Have used the disaster and the suffering of people and animals to push their extremist cause..
