Gratitude Day #10
I'm grateful that I live in a country where the news is not controlled by the government and where most of it is accurate. I'm grateful to have a media that reports events that occur in my community.

[Susan Wakely]

That must be so refreshing to read news where most of it is accurate and not have to sift through the information.

[Cazzi]

I read the paper every day but still sometimes wonder how much of it is accurate. We get the general idea though and good to keep up with news from around the world.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm not so sure about the accuracy of our major media! It's pretty slanted towards the opinion of the person who owns it. It might not be controlled by the government but it is most definitely controlled by someone.

[Pyrrhula]

I think you own common sence is also needed. I need a proof at least twice. But sure I agree with you.

[KWind]

Great shot!

Terrific photo for illustrating your gratitude. I agree with you it is not controlled by the government as in some countries but I am not sure about the accuracy of it either.

[Taffy]

Much to appreciate! Now to see it play out as the constitution and tradition would expect!

[Mary Siegle]

I’m glad to see that you subscribe to the print newspaper. Such a valuable resource and good to support that. So many local newspapers are going under in this age of the Internet .

[Issi Bannerman]

Yes, we still buy a local newspaper too. Nice image.

[JackieR]

I so prefer a printed paper, but will browse e-newspapers, and it's always interesting to compare how the red tops and broadsheets reporgbthe same news!!

[Margo Sayer]

Amen to that!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

I usually trust the local papers, but when it comes to the major network news sadly it seems to depend on who owns it. Let's just say, I definitely trust some more than others...

[Wylie]

and good news at that!

Nice shot

[GaryW]

You are fortunate to have such a local paper.

[Margaret Brown]

Super focus

I thank all of you for your comments. I didn't express myself well in my comment. The local news has been fairly accurate and these papers are small town newspapers. I agree the national and world news is to be taken with a grain of salt. Fact check the important things and ignore the rest.

Freedom of speech is one of the most important freedoms but, sadly, often underrated.

[william wooderson]

Quite right too...

[Kathy]

@vignouse Indeed. And then we have those who get carried away...
@will_wooderson Thanks.

[Richard Sayer]

@randystreat ...or should be carried away ;-))

[Kathy]

@vignouse You're so right. Not mentioning any names, but I bet we all have them.
