As for everything else, one has to take it on a case by case basis. News can be biased toward the nation or political view based even on the station you are watching. (i.e. FOX)
Some of those who use television to further their causes can, and sometimes do, alter the perception by omitting facts not in their favor, so those have to be taken with a bit of skepticism.
Documentaries about nature are about all I really believe and the BBC and NHK do some tremendously good documentaries.... Has anyone seen Wild China? It's a six-part series about the flora and fauna in China by the BBC and CCTV. Awesome!
In all, one really can't believe 100% of what's out there.... IMHO

I have to agree with you there. NHK's documentaries are amazing. I also saw that Wild China documentary. Then I saw it was repeated a few months later, so I watched it again. lol. I don't watch a lot of documentaries, but what I do watch seems to be most fascinating
