Good post. I do the same (except foreign languages ...not....but foreign press).
The word "funny" is not appropriate, however, as people hear it and believe everything they hear.
It is more difficult to get to the truth at times BUT
it is there
Most media outlets do not outright lie..some yes, but most not. Problem is our society seems to have grown weary of asking for truth and facts. Thus out of sheer volume, we hold nobody accountable.
We seem to center on individuals, not truth which is, and always has been a grave error. Of course, this mostly applies to USA cable news channels. Written news media centers more squarely on facts . I suppose because of timing.
