I love to listen to the radio, they only speak the truth, and you can turn it up or down.))) […]
росерг лог:
The internet turned into a rubbish dump a long time ago, gents, a third of the information is rubbish, adverts, viruses, a third is filler and brainwashing, and the other third is biased information that needs to be analysed and verified, in short, you need to think and not trust it.
DRS:
I don’t believe this news.

You can only trust what’s on the internet, what’s on TV and radio, you definitely can’t trust. For example, bloggers write the truth, at least the very essence, and it makes them happy to do so. Radio, TV, are the tools of the authorities, but the internet is the people’s power, fair and honest. And 100% of sensible people believe the internet.
Agap Ded: (responding to above)
Bloggers earn money however they can, and you’ve given them your ears.

Trust, but verify. The internet is much better than TV. Here, you can choose what to believe. But with TV, there’s no choice left.
Сергей Доронин:
So a third manage not to trust the internet. That means that two thirds do. That means that the headline ought to be like this: “THE MAJORITY of Russians trust the internet”, and only a tiny portion trust TelePutin.
Александр Величайший Всея Руси:
The truth is somewhere in between Western press and our own.
Хулиган:
This poll was done for Putin
Давыд Миллер:
You yourselves are just lapdogs, puppets in the hands of people striving for power. They are manipulating you, promising to drive out the “thieves”, promising justice, money for all. Haven’t you noticed?
What do you think? Can you rely on the internet for information? Or do you distrust everything you read (even russiaSLAM!)?
