Where do you think the news media in general get their stories from?

Do they just make it up or assume a certain thing happend?

I would refer you to a story I saw last night on a link from my home page www.nzcity.co.nz (http://www.nzcity.co.nz/) where a Japanese woman had been hit by a cyclist and had died as a result.

Now I see on the same NZ City page that the lady concerned collided with the cyclist and is still alive.

Link here (www.nzherald.co.nz)

Now is this the fault of the media "NZ Herald" and or "NZCity" for reporting or the Police once again getting it wrong?



Poor example. I could just as well spout on about the Auckland journo who was making up huge porkies that were being printed and :eek: believed by the reading public. How about the upstanding tabloid press for a fine example of press propriety. If it sells papers, it goes to print.

I think in this instance, it cuts both ways.
