Depends on the outlet that's reporting. Some are more accurate/less biased than others. Pretty much exactly this. Some outlets are extremely unreliable, others are pretty decent. It's also worth defining exactly what "trust" means in this context: Blindly trusting everything anyone says is pretty much never a good idea, regardless of who they are. Incorporating your own fact-checking to help shape your beliefs is always going to be a good idea when it's easy to do so or when those beliefs are likely to have significant consequences, even if you're hearing the report from a trustworthy source. To say "I trust *outlet*" is a statement that can have a wide range of meanings. It's something you need to be deciding on a case by case basis, not distilling into a 1-10 scale with heavily loaded textual qualifiers. But then TC only ever makes topics to fish for reasons to think less of people based on rigid pre-existing biases, so we can't really expect such nuance. --- This is my signature.
