Not a very logical thing to say and I have never advocated believing everything printed in the media especially having now lived in 3 countries dominated by the Murdoch media who regularly print hogwash.
But that doesn't mean that every now and then outlets like The Guardian or even the Daily Mail / The Sun don't get it right at times.
Also having worked for a time for a Murdoch outlet (with the distinction of being personally told to "fuck off" by Rupert ..don't hold it against him ) I'm well aware of how so much information can be distorted by a newspaper or the BBC and so on.
Currently in Oz where the Iranian ambassador has been kicked out, a controversy rages in the media over our so-called "secret service" ASIO who claim Iran paid criminals last year to fire bomb my favorite Bondi Jewish Deli (best locks & bagels ever) and a Melbourne Synagogue.
I thought at the time this was most odd as that particular Synagogue is well known for being Anti-Zionist and even Anti-Israel and would seem an odd target for Iran especially when there are nearly 1000 Synagogues in Iran and a large Jewish community who live unhindered and unharmed.
My skepticism has increased as it's now revealed the "intel" came from..Israel.
So no I don't claim anyone should blindly believe everything in the mainstream printed or TV media but the same applies to the endless Youtube and social media pundits.

Was that your chat-up line when you were cruising in your Rolls to cruise?
Who said romance is dead?
No wonder young girls are tooling up; the police are not protecting society.
They gather evidence if they are not losing evidence.
Lol. Just read this, Yer joking right? A celebrity cruising in a Rolls wouldn't have stuck out like a sore thumb from Planet Sore Thumb.

And even more - in the 1980s when I was a major, front page, TV celebrity - could I and would I have taken a teenager into a Peep Show and shared a tiny cubicle specifically designed only for one person?
I did not, of course; not wishing for tabloid headlines the next day.
The Jury decided I did.
BONKERS!

Don't believe the fantasists or media.
If I don't believe the media, Barney will give me a lecture.
