^thisDepends on what you call "mainstream". I long learned to check multiple sources and once a source has been shown to be unreliable, I'm done with them.

the reality...
the internet is FASTER but we all SHOULD know that generally it is mostly inaccurate and rarely corrected in a timely fashion...
AT LEAST mainstream media has a semblance of journalistic integrity in so much as they have to have sources and corroboration before they air like the few remaining legitimate newspapers...
But the combination of strong media history and integrity and genuine journalism along with a reliable online presence can be almost 90% accurate...
think about it...
Rob Lowe predicted the Peyton Manning situation EXACTLY in a tweet months ago...
But is your info supplemented by reading books?
I know this is a slippery slope asking about reading on BGOL

Don't books count as a source? They're the oldest form of written media.
Books are not the oldest form of media by the way but I get your point.
The problem is not books, the problem is getting people to read more books.

There was written media before books? Not just paper, cover, spine modern books, mind you.
Yeah, pottery, rocks and any other thing that could have been inscribed as seen with Egyptian hieroglyphics, cuneiform etc....

less than 25....what got me was 9/11 and none of the major news organizations questioned the official government explaination....... All major news outlets are owned by Big corporations, who want to distract the masses and deflect attention away from their fuckery.
I've always seen those as the ancient version of books since the modern form hadn't been invented yet. Those were books just like your tablet where you turn a page by scrolling your finger across a screen.
yes sir ur right! I say fuck the news mostly all the time! Especially when i b listening to them n i kno they r lying! For instance today we im litening to the radio n they r talk about r kelly.. right then i knew she was gonna tell the lie about how he didnt perform, when in fact he was the host of the event..some of those who falling for the kony shit are in here @ 25%
mixed the fuck up
doesn't take a genius to know not to trust the media
racism would have been over if it wasn't for the media
the media is used in so many ways to dictate a lot.
.....radio and tv are the sheep herders to keep order or cause panic
who the fuck doesn't know this by ......now proudly say I.
the media, the fourth estate is OBVIOUSLY a degraded shell of itself..
they have lost their way and the public has suffered greatly because of it..
they USE reality TV, the internet and social media as an EXCUSE for ignoring the integrity that journalism ONCE had...
look at this clip...
if you read the ENTIRE transcript you see that Iverson was making a MUCH BIGGER POINT
Iverson is actually complaining about Coach Brown going PUBLIC with his missing practice and he actually says practice is IMPORTANT...
and he even says something that Jordan has been CRITICIZED for by Phil Jackson himself ...
Iverson mentions that practicing with his teammates will make them a better team but wont make them better individually (I disagree myself) but Jordan was famous for using practice to totally DEMORALIZE his teammates and this effected play on the court...
they need to understand how to play with him OUT OF THE LINE UP too...
he mentions that HIS game is not effected if his teammates are unavailable and wouldn't use it as an excuse...
forget if you agree or not...he has been MISREPRESENTED...
But the MEDIA decided to take a soundbite and run with it..
lets not forget digitally removing Iverson's tattoos and darkening OJ's skin
"Practice" Press Conference
Reporter: Could you be clear about your practicing habits since we can't see you practice?
AI: Anybody tell you that I missed practice... If, If, if a Coach say I missed practice, and y'all hear it, then that's that.
I mean, I might have missed one practice this year but if, if somebody say he doesn't come to practice, it could be one practice. Out of all the practices this year, that's enough... that's enough to get a whole lot started. I told Coach Brown that you don't have to give the people of Philadelphia a reason to think about trading me or anything like that. If you trade somebody, you trade them to make the team better...simple as that. I'm cool with that. I'm all about that. The people in Philadelphia deserve to have a winner. It's simple as that. It goes further than that ...
Reporter: So you and coach Brown got caught up on Saturday about practice?
AI: If I can't practice, I can't practice man. If I'm hurt, I'm hurt. I mean ... simple as that. It aint about that... I mean its... Its not about that... At all. You know what I'm saying I mean...
But its...its easy ... to, to talk about... It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about practice. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not, not ... Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? ...
And we talking about practice.
I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And i'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do...
But we're talking about practice man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man. (laughter from the media crowd) We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We aint talking about the game.(more laughter) We're talking about practice, man.
When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you see me play don't you? You've seen me give everything I've got, right?
But we're talking about practice right now. We talking about pr... (Interrupted)
Reporter: But it's an issue that your coach continues to raise?
AI: Man look, I hear you... it's funny to me too, I mean it's strange... it's strange to me too, but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game... the actual game, when it matters... We're talking about practice ...
Reporter: Is it possible that if you practiced, you would make your teammates better?
AI: How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?
