Good comments and summation of the press and tv media but add in The National up here that has a high readership and favours the Scot Nationalist cause. I'd say that is why social media is gradually thriving as lotsa people opt to never buy any tabloid or heed some of the nonsensical stuff in the media for the reasons that you mention.

Print media is on its knees because of social media and online news websites.

The Guardian have a circulation of about 300,000 copies a day and it costs £2 a day because of the lack of readers so they look at advertisers to help them out as well.

The Times is £1.80 and that's an ok newspaper even though its mainly centre-right. The Times online is pay per view, same with the Telegraph. The Sun used to be pay per view but they scrapped that.

People get there news from social media such as Twitter from the news twitter accounts. Facebook news is the least reliable as majority of it is fake news.

I've read The National that's the sister paper to the Herald isn't it? I've read the Irish times as well which is interesting.

I've read the Daily Mail Online but mainly for the comment section because that is hilarious.
