Do you just accept what you read in the newspapers and see on TV and here on the internet?

Do you follow the crowd or do you make up your own mind?

I feel that a lot of people follow what they are told to feel, and I want to know what you think.

This question is directed at whatever is closest to your heart that is current in the media right now.

And whatever happened to Lip?

The United States media is completely jacked, but the European media shows a lot more of what is actually going on, especially what's going on in the US and the Middle East.

I believe very little about what I see on tv. I don't really watch the news though,I prefer reading it. I think more of what you read is true but I still don't believe all of it and I think the things I do believe often times have more to the story than what is reported. I like www.indymedia.org You get more of an unbiased view

NPR is pretty good. If you're an American just wanting the important stuff listening to BBC works great! They trim it down to just the important stuff coming out of the States and leave the tabloid stuff to the news models on the networks.

Of course you always have to keep your bullshit filter on *cough-fox news-cough*, but it's not hard to do with a little common sense.
