No, not really, although this is a very old accusation. In fact, if you read old newspapers, you will see that there were people 100-150 years ago accusing the media (in those days called "the press") of being biased or sensationalizing the news. The truth is that there are many wonderful journalists who work hard every day to keep the public informed. There are also some unethical folks who pretend to be journalists but who are actually provocateurs who want to stir up outrage and scandal.
The wise person understands the difference between "news" and "commentary" and knows how to fact-check, so that he or she will not be misled. There are some very reliable news sources on TV, radio, in print, and online. And there have also been scandal sheets and tabloids for a very long time. Reports that the media are suddenly becoming untrustworthy are thus quite inaccurate-- today's media are more numerous and they can react instantly (where in the old days, it took longer for the news to be reported), and in reacting instantly, sometimes they don't wait to get all the facts. But over all, today's media are not as untrustworthy as some of their critics want you to believe.
