You do not trust this article, according to media bias study.

This, according to a (not so) shocking new Gallup poll, which found that 55 percent of Americans "have little or no trust" in mass media outlets--newspapers, TV or radio--to report the news fully, accurately or fairly.

In 2007, 43 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents said stories were often inaccurate. Since then, the percentage of Democrats expressing skepticism about the accuracy of news reports has increased by 21 points to 64 percent, and the percentage of independents saying this has grown by 10 points. Republican views have held fairly steady: 69 percent see stories as often inaccurate, little changed from four years ago (63 percent).

Still a left/right paragram falsehood in the study, but you can get the idea.
