    These gigantic media corporations do not exist to objectively tell the truth to the American people. Rather, the primary purpose of their existence is to make money... and LOTS of it.





    What are your opinions on this? Do you trust the mainstream media?

    interesting post, though I can't say I'm surprised. But, sure, why would you trust the media if you have 'THE internet' :)

    Why not just tune out?

    I don't watch tv (haven't, for years), don't rent movies, don't buy telecommunication packages (tv, phone, internet)...

    It's a personal choice.

    I pretty much only watch AMC, and documentaries and comedy specials on Netflix. I don't trust the media at all and I don't watch the news. I read on the internet at the most unbiased sources I can find.
