Do you believe everything you read in the news normally?
No, not really. Um, I read lots of different papers and I find that they all report the same story differently. The interesting trick they play is that each newspaper seems to tell a different part of the story, so they withhold the information.
Yeah, they seem to decide differently as to what they think is going to be worthy of a story for somebody to read, and they do reflect on it completely differently sometimes. It's difficult to know what's important and what's not.
Yes, and as I said, it's strange that – it seems that sometimes they will hold back information so that the story sounds worse than it actually is and it almost comes across as is the newspaper wants you to get angry.
Or sometimes they'll express something that's supposed to be so exciting, and you're not quite sure whether you really agree with it being that exciting, or that interesting, as it actually is.
Which is – yes, I suppose that raises the other point, writing news is a business, it's an industry. They have to come up with stories every day, all day, and so they have to almost write a little bit like fiction as a, you know, to make it exciting.
Well yeah, and they have to – they have to sell newspapers, they have to make money. So sometimes you think that that's the only reason that they may be writing a story.
