It disturbs me that people who dismiss cable news as unreliable will then happily believe internet news, and shit like conspiracy theories and infowars.
Without actually going to, e.g. Syria and talking to or witnessing it for yourself, you have to get your information thru some media source. Reading primary sources, like reading Bills or U.N. reports, takes too long, so you never really know what's happening on the world stage.
Yet idiots here will confidently assert, "Mainstream media is lying! The real news is this thing I just read on Breitbart!" It frightens me that people are that gullible.

I spent watching US news from cable sources and from Japan's local news ... It's amazing how the same news is covered differently. 9/11 was a horror show and reversely the Fukushima internal coverage was a horror show.
So, I agree with your points.
