I soured on the news as I learned even just a little, even in high school. I would read articles about physics, or that had physics as an important element, and observe how terribly wrong the reporter got things. Even giving generous allowance for an untrained person discussing a difficult subject it seemed to me they got too much wrong too often, or took liberties (ending up with terribly inaccurate statements) with an expert's explanation in an attempt to make it digestable for non experts. Why should I trust what they have to say about other subjects?
