Funding doesn't matter when it comes to results. Snopes has helped me countless times figure out if a story is reliable.

Also, every news outlet has its faults - but there are thousands of dedicated reporters who don't deserve to be painted with a broad brush that connects them to a heartless business.

It's very easy to say that the media is distorted and blame them for the falsehoods that are spread.

The point I was trying to make was that all news can be distorted and it's now up to us to be vigilant.
