The "major media" have had such a poor record, over the past few decades, as to the accuracy of their reports, and the integrety of their editorial process, that I have absolutely no confidence in them. Period.
Forged documents, planted press releases, incompetent reporters, lies and inuendo seem to be their stock in trade. If any of them -ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MTV, etc- told me the sky was blue, I'd look first. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day!
