- kenvsryu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Playboy and airbrushing is not so trustworthy.
- Cutkomp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19"Fair dealing with stakeholders" has nothing to do with trustworthiness in media. If anything it's exactly the opposite. That list is about money, trust is about truth. Money and truth aren't always friends.
- lakush, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Hearst-Argyle, the original yellow journalism.
- d00ley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The "trustworthiness" is in regards to honesty towards stockholders, not ANYTHING else.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Would you like some Fnord with your Illuminati?
- levi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Did any one find Forbes on the list?
- d00ley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National autodetermination practiced in past centuries"
Note that another word for "National autodetermination" is Democracy. - Prysorra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers"
Hooooleeyyyy *****. Henry Ford was right - only it wasn't the Jews O_O - nevesis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, I'll never trust Hearst. They started the trend.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Takes me 50 sources to find 1 truth now days. You have to be a ***** idiot if you rely on 1 particular source.
Now days you have your NBC, CBC, CNN, ABC, FOX, NPR, all with their particular interpretation of an event. We now live in a world where everything has two sides to it, nothing is clear. When you have 5 sources saying the same thing, that's doesn't mean *****, you have to look at the sources and look at their politics.
Everyday the "sales journalist" get up there and try to get you to believe what they want you to believe. Free and honest media my ass. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2SWG...yeah, EVERY media company's charter CLAIMS to be free of bias. Doesn't mean they are. And BBC sure a ***** is not free of bias.
- smittysize, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3haha, yeah Hearst is in the encyclopedia under yellow journalism, literally.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I would not be surprised... it seems lots of our most powerful people worldwide like to get to gether for secret meetings that boast better security than Knox
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3...Dr Evils Evil organization..
- TheTap, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Trustworthy Media Company = Oxymoron
- d00ley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Customers do are not factored into this ranking. See the methodology of this study:
http://www.auditintegrity.com/methodology/ - Prysorra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You mean hips?
/And I'm starting to feel it's right - VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Google!
- jspegele, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Go take a business class. Stakeholders != Stockholders. Stakeholders are anyone who has an interest in the company, this includes customers, the local community, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakeholder_(corporate) - greymaxcat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What, no Microsoft on the list? < / snark >
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1just two?
- mojibyrd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And who happens to own 'Audit Integrity' - it probably is the same ones who told us iraq has/had weapons of mass destruction and that bin laden with all his billions in the saudi family actually lived in a cave....makes you laugh and truly know they are all full of ***** and know wonder no one reads their publications, other than perhaps playboy, but then we are looking at the pics not really reading.
- XISUPERMANIX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@kenvsryu that is the reason I hate playboy especially when they get famous people to pose, it is so fake it is almost laughable. Anybody catch WWE's Ashley Massaro? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Ashley_Massaro_Playboy_April_2007.jpg
SFW
Her face looks like it is animated.
I would stick to natural beauties like Kate Ground, Natalie Sparks where none of their photos are airbrushed. Even when Kate posed for Playboy Natural Beauties (they supposedly don't airbrush) it looked altered. - smittysize, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Regardless, as a corporation they are untrustworthy. "Yeah well they lie and misrepresent facts by trade, but i think I'm just going to go ahead and trust them when it comes to reporting financial information about themselves."
- masterkenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And the ninja Digg haters keep a'comin...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And obviously no Apple. Backdating stock options for a select few millionaires at the expense of hte low level stockholders will cost a company points every time.
- grendel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4no Fox?
- bocaJWho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1FTA:
Manpower Inc. MAN Business Services 83
BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. BJ Retail (Specialty) 83
Unfortunate placement? - spock627corfu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Mother Jones? Left-leaning opeds, but their reporting seems strong.
- jsffive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Have any of these people actually READ the Washington Post lately?
Yeah, they report the facts. But the REALLY IMPORTANT facts somehow get pushed to page B12. Meanwhile, the story about Bill Clinton's sex life and ostensible "shady" land deals show up on PAGE ONE EVERY DAY FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS!
You see, the problem is that, like FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, the Post took Nixon's JOB away... and they were so busy patting themselves on the back and riding the wave of self-adulation that, in January 2003, they missed THE BIGGEST LIE EVER PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Bravo Washington Post, Bravo.
Here's an idea.
The next time that a TEXAS OILMAN, and a WYOMING OILMAN conduct a war on top of the THIRD LARGEST OIL DEPOSIT IN THE WORLD, and they tell you (with the press' complicity) that it's not about oil, try turning off the TV, STOP reading the American newspapers, and just try to connect the dots yourself...
Screw the American mainstream media.
They are either complicit in the lie, or they are just really incompetent. In either event, we don't need to get our news from them anymore. - SWGreg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The first place I go for my news is the BBC. "The BBC is required by its charter to be free from both political and commercial influence and answers only to its viewers and listeners. "
- dukeeeey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National autodetermination practiced in past centuries" - David Rockefeller - address to a Trilateral Commission
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1SWGreg 1 hour ago
[comment buried, show commenthide comment] + 1 digg The first place I go for my news is the BBC. "The BBC is required by its charter to be free from both political and commercial influence and answers only to its viewers and listeners. "
LOL....The BBC is way from free of political influences. - Boing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Where's Enron?
And why does it say Media companies when you have Buffalo Wild Wings? I was unaware of their television, radio station or publications. - libliebuster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What a load of ***** if the Washington Post can make the top 100 trusted companies. Who did they survey for this poll? The Democratic National Comittee?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Because it has nothing to do with just media companies. I have no idea why the submitter thought it did. Nowhere in the article does it limit the list to media.
- Aleman360, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Boobies don't lie.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2But the money claims to trust in god... and we all know god = trvth
- KDX200rider, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2or New York Times? or Boston Globe? or CBS News?....
- masterkenobi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2What, no Halliburton?
