Letter Published in The National UAE on 14 Nov 18The news belongs to us all, not any one political group

I write in reference to your article In an age of information overload, who can we really trust? (Nov 13). Gavin Esler’s thoughts on the overwhelming tide of all we now have to deal with were extremely interesting.

Despite the advancement in information technology being positive in many ways, biased reporting and fake news are increasingly common. This is deeply regrettable.

News should be authentic and neutral and should serve only the truth, not the interests of political groups. We have to be able to trust the ­information we are given.
