I read an article in the paper today about the threatened demise of the newspaper, as people are using the web and so on for news. I mean, all you need to know is on Twitter! It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the gossip's the thing!
But on second thoughts, can you believe what you read in the newspaper? Apparently most people think not. In a recent Ipsos Mori survey asking people whom they trusted to tell the truth, journalists obtained only 19%. But they weren't bottom! Politicians scored 14%. Most trusted were doctors with 88% of people generally believing they told the truth.
It was a bit of a shock, though, that clergy only got 68%. Maybe I need to stop telling funny stories in my sermons. Perhaps people take them seriously.
