How much do you trust the mainstream media?

Close to zero.

not much .

Not at all . Trust only few like loksabha tv , rajyasabha tv , dd news and the hindu

I strongly recomend people not to trust it at all, as it is fully corrupt, a system considered 'normal' and 'common', but just because it is a world-wide spread way to control the masses, as if we were sheeps and they're our shepherds...

Not worth your time. Media has become frenimeies of commoner particularly in india.

I don't. And even if I do read them, I like to read multiple conflicting versions (such as Russia Today and BBC, for instance) so I can understand things better.

The success of main stream media is, they were able to create a image in front of public / readers that they are giving out the true news always. People need to think and understand that they always run a business and not charity. They always need circulation and not a sharing of true knowledge. They present what people wish to read and not at all what the real news is...Just wake up dears... You can investigate on each news and the way they present...

I do not trust anyone till i have investigated the facts myself and since i am only concerned about my life i don't need to investigate every fact in the world only the ones affecting my own life.Since we all know throughout history that the powerful people use media for propaganda, should we be believing the media all the time.

Thanks for A2A.I don't think all the stuff that shows up on media is trustworthy. There are a whole lot of other things, other important things that the media ignores. News is not all about politicians and movie stars. It should be more about the common man and his issues.Having said that, there are things that the media reports truthfully. It would be great if the media realises the power and impact it can have if they show truthful facts, the ones that commoners can connect to and not just getting themselves involved in TRP tug of war.
