Absolutely not. I would be an idiot to.
At the end of the day, they are there to make a profit for someone regardless of their individual journalist skills.

Dont buy Newspapers anymore, the internet contains all the news I need for free. The beauty of the internet is that it is harder for Media Companies to write a BS article without being caught out. Plus you have the news as it happens on the Web, and is interesting to get people's views/thoughts/reaction to an article.
