Depends on the outlet. The further away from the mainstream, the less likely they are accurate.
NBC/ABC/CBS/Associated Press:99+%. They don't go on shaky information.
WSJ/NYT/WaPo/USAtoday: 90+%. Sometimes they miss. Especially with major digital presence, they are fighting to be first.
Next level down of newpapers/Boston Globe/etc: 95%+. They can't afford to be wrong. Boston Globe especially has done some incredible investigative work with Spotlight. These are the day to day grinders whose work gets overlooked but often gives alot of base info.
InfoWars: 0.1%.
For the most part, they are real. From reaching out on campaigns, to getting info in office, lots of networks are established. Tons of off the record comments happen all the time. There is a bevy of info that they can't/don't go with since it was off-the-record.

This is total bull-shite and I don't even Alex bro...
Alex goes off the rails and hurts his and his message's reputation when he does. He is his own worst enemy.
As for the message and some of their news, hell no it isn't .1%. WTF?

When they only report one side of the argument, that's shaky info. You give them too much credit for honesty.

99% accurate yet none of the major media outlets saw comney's firing coming until after it happened. It's obvious they have flushed out the leakers and the media has no idea what's going on.
