Anything you read in the newspaper could be complete nonsense and you'd need to consult 50 different sources to determine what is and isn't true in today's news.
I assert this to be the case today with mainstream newspapers and television. I believe that some have less nonsense than others, but before I act on something I read in a newspaper, I consult other sources and verify.
You're probably right, and it's kind of depressing. I probably should fact check everything I read, but to be honest, sometimes I just can't be bothered. Better yet I shouldn't bother reading anything in the main stream news I don't have time to verify.
I'm pretty sure you're a minority on the fact checking by the way.
