How much should you trust the media?

The media manipulates...it chooses what to print to either make you enraged or to pump you up. It repeats what others repeat as well, even when it's wrong (Russia, Russia Russia as well as Hunter's laptop).

Last night there was an assassination attempt on former President Trump and one newspaper initially put out "Trump fell." Are you kidding me???? I watched the video 4 minutes after it happened and you could tell he got shot immediately. He didn't fall.

How much do you trust the media????

Here is a piece that copied what CNN had said:

JUST-IN: Secret Service Agents Rush Trump Off Stage After Falling At Rally

Former US President Donald Trump was rushed off stage after he fell to the ground at the start of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday night, according

Former US President Donald Trump was rushed off stage after he fell to the ground at the start of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday night, according to the CNN.

It was not immediately clear what caused Trump to fall. He raised a fist and yelled back to members of the crowd before he was rushed away.

I wouldn't trivialize an assassination attempt like that lol. I have learned not to trust a pinch of what is portrayed in the media.

I think the answer to that depends on where you get your news from.

The Internet has given birth to a multitude of so called news outlets that cherry pick facts to suit their own political agendas. Conversely there are still a few mainstream news outlets capable of factual reporting while keeping their political leanings to editorials. I tend to get my news from them while never relying on a single source.

I guess CNN must have been watching another Donald Trump in fairyland. Meanwhile in the real world there was obvious gun fire, Tump raised his hand to his ear and instinctively ducked down. At no point did he fall, he was dragged down by his bodyguards.

I saw it before I read about it and it was obvious to me it was an assassination attempt when he ducked which was reinforced a few seconds later when I saw the blood on his face.

I totally agree! I, too, attempt to find out the truth by not sticking to one news source. When I read something suspicious on the big media outlets, I find it's useful to go to the local news sources for some fine tuning of the details.

I get my news from a unbiased source. All the big media channels just want to spread lies and their agenda. Both Fox News and CNN are bad about this, and I don't trust either one. Trump 100% did not fall, and it was obvious that he was shot and could have died from a gunshot wound.
