You need to look at several different sources and you might get an idea about the true story, but not always.
Nothing is 100% true, it can not be because you always have the bias of the reporter.Can I believe what I read on newspaper and heard on TV about the Middle East war? Is it 100 % true?
no. In fact, most newspapers and channels are biased against Israel. The real story is that Hamas has been launching over missiles for several years, but recently, it just got worse. Hamas has been launching over 100 missiles a day, killing civilians. On the other hand, Israel is just protecting its country. Israel warns Hamas 30 minutes before because they hate killing civilians. Hamas then literately drags women and children civilians to the building in which it is being bombed and use them as a human shield. Unfortunately, the media isn't really showing this side of the war. Watch Fox News to get a better update on the war.Can I believe what I read on newspaper and heard on TV about the Middle East war?

The overwhelming majority is filled with complete crap. Many tend to cling to the one that they agree with the most. Some swear by Fox News while others will cling to CNN or the New York Times saying it's the most accurate. Really, those news sources are just telling them what they like to hear.
Remember that the overall objective in the news is to sell stories. A good number (well.. most) of reporters over there will base stories off of hearsay without being able to substantiate them. Some will go out of their way to get everything right, though those gems are far less common (They're easy to pick out by having good stories with absolutely no negative or positive spin).
My brother once told me of a case in Iraq that he looked into. A reporter was looking for some kind of information on a shooting. He was going to write a story about how coalition troops shot a nine year-old girl in the head while on patrol in Iraq. Looking deeper into the story (it only too him a few hours to find out what actually happened), he found that what had actually happened was that some Iraqi man got shot in the leg by an insurgent (they think it may have been someone the guy knew). To that reporter and through a giant game of telephone, that somehow translated into a little girl getting shot in the head. Yea. No bias there...
I doubt most would believe it, but the military's news is actually extremely accurate. Heh, unfortunately that also makes it very dry and boring. There have been cases of high ranking officers losing their commissions for spreading false stories. Most don't want to hear it though. I'd imagine because of the case of ';ZOMFG T3H EVIL GOVRNMT CONTRLZ UR MINDZ THINK FOR URSLF!!!11!!1!'; When you have large groups of people who band together and think like this (as well as when they all think alike), who are the ones thinking for themselves?
The more accurate, balanced, and unbiased news sources are from Reuters and the Washington Post.

Each news channel or web site doesn't tell the whole story or shortens it to save time, leaving out some important details. Choose a reliable news website, like CNN, and read the articles over it, whole. Also news over it from different countries.
No not any newspaper or channel. You have to read news from different countries as well as the US and form your own OPINION on what is going on. Not even intelligence agencies KNOW whats going on a lot of the time.
There is no way to know whether it is 100% true.
I do find that watching BBC News covers some topics about the war that our news stations don't.
The stories your hear in the news are always going to be distorted.
everything you hear on tv especially coming form them, has been fixed to make us look bad.
Who knows? This is what we like to call 'Yellow Journalism'.
only if your a liberal
noooo
never 100% true 50 % true ok xx
