It must be true, it's in the paper!

As a follow-up to yesterday's post, of course many of Trump's comments about the dishonesty (as he sees it) of the media are OTT, but that shouldn't disguise the fact that they contain a kernel of truth. Any thinking person must be aware that the press and television news channels have their own agendas (usually dictated by their owners) and so what they say should not be accepted unquestioningly. That's not to say they are going to tell you lies (although some of them may well be) but they will try and tweak your thinking to mirror theirs.  I may be just being patriotic but if I want unbiased news, I turn on the BBC,
