5. Other. Based on the fact that the only sources I had for frank, open news was from the U.K.

Then I learned about media monopolies & their defense contracts, which made the media cheerleading look really corrupt.

I turned away from my daily newspaper & network news & haven't looked back; credibility lost.

Unless the reporter is very, very, very good, every story you see in the news media is covering only about 10% of what is relevant to that story. And most often it's not the most important 10%.
