All information in mass media is of high quality and does not need to be evaluated by the consumer

This statement is not accurate. While many reputable sources in mass media strive to provide high-quality information, it is still important for consumers to critically evaluate the information they encounter. This includes considering the source of the information, checking for biases or inaccuracies, and verifying facts with multiple sources. Consumers should be proactive in seeking out reliable information and not passively accepting everything they see or hear in the media. Evaluating information from the media is an important skill for media literacy and critical thinking.
