Real info? The fact is it's all one person's opinion or another. Said reporter can have one opinion just the same as some random guy can. Does typing it on the internet make it any more factual? What people view as truth are articles that they personally agree with. It's human nature, we align ourselves with like-minded individuals. That's why one news outlet can be gospel to one person but skewed lies to another. I think we're all smart enough here to understand that the media isn't always accurate and is almost always skewed for one purpose or another. This can be especially dangerous when a reporter is writing on a topic they only have a brief understanding of (New York Times is notorious for this, even the Wall Street Journal now and again). We've all seen how the talking heads can take a topic and skew it to oblivion.
