The BBC? Sky News? Where? As you seem to know they are lies, inaccuracies, and just opinions, spill your 100% factual sources as I'd like to be in the know as well.

When it comes to fiscal spending, most of the reporters in the national press simply don't understand how it works and so parrot the lies of the politicians. That's just lazy journalism but its lazy journalism that controls public thinking. If you want to understand about how tax works (and most people don't) and if you want to understand how and why we have austerity or if you want to understand the difference between household spending and government spending, start studying and stop reading blurry reporting because only then can you separate fact from fiction.

Also stop reading the paper that just suits your agenda and polarizes your views. Just because the paper says what you want it to say, doesn't make it truth. Stop reading what sells because its bulked out with exaggeration and sensationalizing. Most national papers treat us like idiots with their alarmist rhetoric.

In these modern times we have both neutral and factual information at our finger tips. Its easy enough to fact check.
