I mean, it's reliable in that it really isn't going to churn out serious falsehoods, but at the same time, it's worth knowing that the MSM is self-interested and profit driven, which totally affects the way it frames and propels certain narratives. The false equivalency it built between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, for example, was astonishing and disturbing. The stories weren't untrue, but I would say the way the narrative unfolded as a constant "counter-punch" to Trump's very real bulls-it was exceptionally unfair.
