You dont really believe major news outlets are impartial and only report the truth, right? Although most of the time its what is NOT reported on that is the biggest threat.

and i dont need any examples to prove my point other then, read some history and get educated.

Not the OP here, but I'd like to point out the obvious:

1. No news outlet is impartial, neither major nor fringe outlets. (Most fringe outlets are more partial, though.)

2. Major news outlets mostly report the truth and correct errors when they are discovered.

> read some history and get educated

I always ask critiques of major news outlets to suggest alternative news sources and they either come up with nothing or evidently ridiculous suggestions such as blogs, conspiracy sites, and fringe right-wing or left-wing news aggregators that barely employ journalists, let alone a network of correspondents.

The best way to keep yourself informed is to compare different major news outlets, and if they agree on a story, then it's most likely true, because there is only one reality. It's really as simple as that.

Speaking of news oulets. John Oliver had a rather eye opening piece about local news oulets in USA and centralized ownership. (Not that USA is unique in this aspect, but interesting non the less)
