Saturday question #6: Do you REALLY believe in everything you read?
Welcome to the sixth edition of Saturday questions. The more or less absurd discussion from the last two days was a direct inspiration for this week’s question.
Back in November 2008, the very subject of this website said:
I’ll just write whatever I feel like saying whenever I feel like doing it. I don’t like the old media channels and this is a way of communicating to people without the filter of magazines and their bullshit that has nothing to do with music.
Long ago, a friend of this website, an anti-panda superbrainsupermom, explained something in the lines of:
When a press release, a magazine release, or even a book are prepared for print; editors run through it and change things. Sometimes there isn’t much left of what the text originally used to be; portions of text may be edited out if considered boring…
So, given all this…
Do you really believe in everything you read? Do you trust direct media, such as blogs, zines and websites edited by smaller groups of people more than powerful media machines, where dozens of people edit information in a desk? Do you use your common sense to determine if something could be right or not?
