this. id say always check more sources if you are in doubt.

every media company has its own bias (usually influenced by the owner) and you have to know what they are to understand what they will be manipulating or what agenda they will be pushing along with the actual facts. some might be more trustworthy for some subjects but not others.

factor that in to your reading of the news and you will get a much better view of things.
