WHenever I'm familiar with the substance of a story, I find that the newspaper (and worse TV/Radio News) never always reports the story incorrectly. Usually seriously incorrectly. Not only do they get facts wrong, they then select quotes and facts that just present the story incorrectly. This seems to be more due to ignorance, not intent. They just don't have reporters with a clue about the subject area. When they do have someone with knowledge reporting the story, the reporter invariably intentionally selects facts and quotes to distort the story for better news appeal and/or their own political agenda. But, since few people pay any attention to the news media and even fewer actually read background material or do any research, it probably doesn't matter. Most get their information and make voting decisions based on the Urban fairly tale network.
