But how do you know if the sources are accurate? How do you know that they have done the research (sometimes into things that people don't want reporters to find out about)?
Take gas prices, the media says that speculators weren't causing that much of an impact on prices, but I haven't seen too many reports on what caused gas to double last summer and then fall from $4.50 to $1.35. Are they investigating oil companies, refinery outputs, drilling, the amount of investors in oil? ABC news said the fall was because we are driving less, but I see the same number of cars each day. There may be fewer trucks on the road and fewer factories using gas, but they never said that if we use 10% less gas, prices will go down to 2001 levels back in June.
