Depending on the source you or more or less correct. The bigger problem is people who have been sowing deliberate mistrust of legitimate news sources. Dictators, autocrats, and the extreme right love to do this. By getting people to distrust those who are telling the truth it makes people easier to manipulate.

That's why it's important to be able to identify the differences between a tabloid quality article/op-ed and a news article that's even worth investigating. We all only have so much time in the day, save yourself the trouble and skip the op-eds or lower quality.

Tabloids are essentially junk tv level of information.
