They may or may not be speaking the truth but one can be certain of what they said and analyze their words myself. With media reporting on what the players said, it may be exact quotes or may be spun in such a way that there is little truth to their report and in some cases the reports can/and have been total fabrications. So no, I don't rely upon news reports.
That is why I spend about 80-90% of my time watching C-Span instead of the different network news orgs.

With that argument investigative reporting doesn't exist in your eyes? Is that what you are saying? You only make decisions based on what politicians say in front of cameras and in senate alone?
