聽力每日練習(xí) listen 4497 Which newspapers do you think do the best job of checking facts

2--Yes.It's sometimes scary if you think of the tremendous amount of media we face every day.

1--It's like information overload , not to mention the reliability of these papers and magazines.

2--Which financial magazines and newspapers do you think do the best job of checking facts?

1--Well,for example, The Wall Street Joumal is very,very good. E-ven though  it's used on occasion ( as all news organizations are) by CEOs or bankers who leak their mergers in advance in order to get a positive spin.

2--I like to read Fortune.

1--Cood.Fortune is usually ahead of the curve.And Business Week is very solid ,too.

2--Where does a broadcast company get most of their information? I hope not just from press releases.

1--A good broadcast company usually does far more than press relea-ses.Their people go out and do real reporting,talking to people at the stock exchange ,fund managers,analysts,etc.

2--But sometimes when a flimsy report,or even a rumor gets on tele-vision ,there's going to be terrible" echo chamber" effect.

1--You are right about that.

譯文：

1--數(shù)以百萬的像你這樣的非專業(yè)投資者都依賴那些令人眼花繚亂的金融報(bào)紙、雜志和評(píng)論員來獲得投資方面的信息。

2--是這樣。想想我們每天面對(duì)龐大的媒體，有時(shí)候真覺得有點(diǎn)兒嚇人。

1--這就像是信息過載了，更別提這些報(bào)刊雜志的可靠性如何了。

2--你認(rèn)為哪家報(bào)紙或雜志在核對(duì)事實(shí)方面做得最好呢？

1--比方說，《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》就很好。盡管有些時(shí)候公司老總和銀行家也利用它事先泄露公司合并的消息，以利其炒作。

2--我喜歡《財(cái)富》。

1--《財(cái)富》有很好的預(yù)見性?！渡虡I(yè)周刊》的可靠性也不錯(cuò)。

2--廣播公司是如何獲得信息的呢？但愿不只是從新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上吧。

1--好的廣播公司獲得信息的途徑遠(yuǎn)不止新聞發(fā)布會(huì)。他們的記者做的是貨真價(jià)實(shí)的報(bào)道，他們得去股票交易所采訪股民，采訪基金經(jīng)理人和股評(píng)人士。

2--不過，有時(shí)候，不可信的傳聞甚至謠言一旦上了電視，就會(huì)越傳越訛了。

1--你說得對(duì)。
