My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

The msm is perceived as liberal propaganda by the right, but in terms of their reporting of the news, they are far less biased than something like breitbart.

I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostSo how do you determine what news is true and what news is fake?
Also, when several MSM outlets report the same story do you tend to trust that story is more likely to be true? Do you think they coordinate their messaging?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostAnd the MSM are pro liberal propaganda. People that get the majority of their information from them are, when it comes to Democrats, in a little bubble where the real world is excluded and they can hear what makes the happy.
That was easy. Come back when you got more than a smear.

Ok. But sometimes stories which support a "preferred narrative" are actually true. How do you determine which of them are true and which of them are false?
I'll give an example. It was widely reported that how Rudy Giuliani associated with some shady characters who were arrested trying to flee the country. Is that true? I posted a link to Fox but if I had posted a link to multiple MSM outlets stating the same thing would you believe it given that it is reporting about real people with names / pictures etc.?

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostThe fun of today is theses dozens of news sources and access to thousands of government and private records sources that almost anyone can access and read. It takes some extra work, but it does help. Another useful tool is seeing how often headlines are dominated, how quickly the story drops, or how quickly details change.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostI say still look into it. The internet has been both a blessing and a curse...
So, it's attested by every MSM (including Fox) that Rudy was working with quite shady characters who were arrested attempting to flee the country. Do you believe it?
