How reliable is the news your reading?

When you read the news or some newspaper do you think about the truth behind the story? Many of us pick a newspaper and just start looking at articles that interest us. Or we look at the newspaper to see what's going on in the world around us. When I read the news paper I'm always reading further into them then necessary not thinking about if the article is true or not, but always thinking how bad was that situation or just to intrigued. I was looking at some facts and ratings on how truthful many new sources are and the ratings weren't overly high. Well known newspapers like the New York Time only has a rating of 8%. The Wall Street Journal has a 7% rating. I found these to be on the lower side due to how much public awareness they get. Do you read the newspaper much? If so, do you think of truth behind the story? Is it really true?
