Depending on the reporter.
The media can slant and ruin a person reputation within seconds.
And make the readers look very dumb.

Like the scriptures, unless you investigate for yourself.
You at the will of whatever your minister say?

Which is why?
The scriptures state to study to show yourself approved.

Down through history, we have seen strong survival not be threatened by lies.
Or agendas of another in the press.

Muhammad Ali, is a classy example, many tried to tear his will down.
But through his faith and will and others.
He stayed firm on his principles.

We saw many attacked because either they were to the left or right on viewpoints.
And not survive the attack of the media.

But on one hand, you recognized the POWER of the press.
When challenged by political forces to prove something.
They most likely accept that challenge and usually win.

Unbias, in certain cases but only to a point.
