tao Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 University of Missouri Maybe it’s the accent. When it comes to news, Americans deemed British media more trustworthy than their U.S. counterparts in a world where “fake news” has emerged as an ideological battle cry and less of an oxymoron. The most trusted news source in the U.S. is The Economist — a weekly magazine published in the U.K., according to a recent survey from the University of Missouri’s Reynolds Journalism Institute. The second-most reliable is public television, followed by Reuters and BBC. Two U.S. nonprofit outlets, NPR and PBS, came in at fifth and sixth, while the U.K.’s The Guardian clinched the seventh spot. The U.S.-based Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Dallas Morning News rounded out the top 10 trusted names in journalism. The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp. NWS, -0.34% NWSA, -0.91% the parent of MarketWatch. At the other extreme, Occupy Democrats — a political website with a self-claimed agenda of counterbalancing the Republican Tea Party — won the dubious honor of being the most untrustworthy in the nation. Buzzfeed, Breitbart and Infowars also scored dismally on the trust-meter. The results were based on a survey of more than 8,000 people conducted by 28 media organizations in the U.S. Participation was voluntary but respondents tended to reside near the news outlets that made the questionnaire available on their websites, and leaned toward the liberal side of the political spectrum. University of Missouri The survey also showed that politically liberal respondents were more trusting than conservatives, while Caucasians were more likely than non-whites to have confidence in the media. As the chart below illustrates, the level of trust remained fairly steady among people who identify themselves as liberals or moderates regardless of their age; among conservatives, trust dropped off sharply with age. At the same time, financial support for the media had a strong correlation with age. University of Missouri The debate over trust and journalism has taken on a whole different tone in recent months as President Donald Trump has vociferously attacked mainstream media as “fake news” in response to unfavorable coverage. So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2017 Ironically, Trump was also viewed as untrustworthy, with a credibility score that was better than the internet but worse than social-media sources. < Here > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tao Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Okay. Who reads news from: Kiribati, Tuvalu, Nauru, Sao Tome and Principe, and San Marino? or Namibia, Mauritius, Surinam, Mauritania, Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim, Laos, Thailand? or South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, New Zealand, Australia? Simple fact: Current super power prevails (Why people like to immigrate to the US, and not Iran or Russia? Just saying'; no offense, please), until the new super power emerges and dominates. For example, from "where the sun never sets" to "the land of the free and brave." That's how our world is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case honest news. No (we don't need to wander all life looking for an impossibility) but need to get out of Plato's cave. That is, we need to awaken (as Buddha preached). The reality (honesty and dishonesty are two sides of one coin): Where there is beauty, there is ugliness. When something is right, Something else is wrong. Knowledge and ignorance Depend on each other.It has been like this since the beginning.How could it be otherwise now?Wanting to chuck out one And hold onto the other Makes for a ridiculous comedy.You must still deal with everything Ever-changing, Even when you say it’s wonderful. ~ Ryokan ("The Great Fool") (1758-1831) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First answer is here, A. Fishman, Joshua (2010). Handbook of Language and Ethnic Identity: Disciplinary and Regional Perspectives (Volume 1). Oxford University Press. p. 266. ISBN 978-0195374926. "“Iran” and “Persia” are synonymous" The former has always been used by the Iranian speaking peoples themselves, while the latter has served as the international name of the country in various languages Also about language Iranian is not a language, or is it? Official languages Persian Recognised regional languages Azerbaijani · Kurdish · Lurish · Semnani · Gilaki · Mazenderani · Tati · Turkmen · Arabic · Qashqai · Baloch · Talysh · Afshar · Georgian · Armenian · Neo-Aramaic[2] Iran is the newer name for the country Persia. the language is called Farsi/Parsi/Persian. yes Iranian is not a language, it's referred to anyone who is born in the country Iran. some people in the news channels don't pronounce Iran right which is kinda funny, it's not i-ran.

Administrator DKT27 Posted August 8, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 8, 2017 All of them, mentioned in the list and not mentioned in the list are lairs. Left wing, right wing, central wing, no matter what country. All news media lie whenever it's suitable for them. This includes even Indian media. All of them misrepresent stories and portray others are bad guys. I can even go onto say that media are always in the competition with politicians / leaders about who is worse liar and bad for the people. That is why, we at nsane.forums prefer to keep these political news away and stick to technology related news. Also having said, some sources still have some, even though little, credibility to them when compared to some outright lie media out there.

steven36 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 One thing the News media never knows but what they been told and this could not be true or they may only being told what they want the media too know. On top of that many news medias are biased to the left or the right and over blows or lies every story about the opposing side . Then they are some outlets that don't do nothing but tell lies. One thing only about 3 out of 10 in the USA have much faith the News media is telling the truth and when it's posted on social media sites were many users look for news too post that fit there agenda it even sinks lower .

Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth! ~ Rudyard Kipling ("The Ballad of East and West") [An interpretation] This may be read as saying that 'it is indisputable that geographic points of the compass will never meet in this life, but that when two strong men [or equals] meet, the accidents of birth, whether of nationality, race, or family, do not matter at all -- the mutual respect such individuals have, each for the character, prowess, and integrity of the other, are their only criteria for judging and accepting one another. Any differences in ethnicity between such individuals are never even considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
