I would agree on a very general level. It's true that technically the medium itself does not determine a stories truthfulness. But some of those media are layered with a bureaucratic infrastructure that makes the truth harder to get out in some cases. Sometimes what is not reported is as important as what is reported. For instance, there is such a thing as a lie by omission and it happens all the time in traditional media. And more often than not it's not the reporters fault but the system within they work that makes the lie possible.
