No. Watch a wide cross section of media news, turning the channel whenever the are doing opinions by the the "news" presenters. Read. Read a lot, from a wide cross section of reporting. Reading goes into the brain at the rate it can best analyze without getting caught up, and forgetting logic flaws and exceptions, and of course, your reading should be done with skeptically, also. In viewing, any emotional appeal is a big strike against the presentation being put forth, whether viewing or reading. Emotion and emotional appeal are the primary ingredients of propaganda and mass manipulation. When detected, stop. Dump the story and move on to another article reporting the facts. Do not get fooled into accepting presenters as superior authority or intelligence that should override your own thinking. In the end, they wipe their ass the same way you do.
