很多在美国的华人是轻易相信美国的媒体的。诚然，美国人也有大约30%到35%（每年的统计数据不一样但基本上在这么个范围）的人也相信美国的媒体。而第一代华人绝大多数人是相信美国媒体的。这倒不是说美国媒体的报道不真实，而是有选择性，因为根据美国宪法，为了防止政府操纵媒体而给人民大众洗脑，任何个人都可以办媒体，比如电视台报纸电台，唯独政府不可以办媒体。政府一旦垄断媒体，那它的报道连标点符号都不可信。而这些私人媒体是为了赚钱的，是为财团服务的，没有为人民大众服务的义务。这些媒体天天在报道政府的不公、不作为，政府的警察误杀了人而不受法律制裁等等，这些负面的报道往往是真实的，但不是全面的。好处是监督政府的同时媒体人自己也赚得盆满钵满。这就给笃信媒体的华人带来了很多误解。

比如，财团们投资了哪家产品，他们必然给媒体钱登载利于他们公司产品的调查数据，直到出现律师告他诈骗为止。那些数据比如来自于随机电话询问的500人得出某某产品最可靠。但你不能跟他要那500人 的电话号码你去核实，人家不给你。你自己也随机打500个电话得出的结论不同，人家媒体是不给你登的。所以，65%到67%的美国人是不相信美国媒体的。比如买什么车，靠的是自己的经历和朋友们的经历。而华人则大部分看汽车杂志的评分等私人媒体的报道。

如果你到政府的网站去查，你会发现私人媒体报道的很多是不靠谱的，靠谱的也是片面的。拿梁警官的案子来说，很多华人误以为白人警察随便杀了黑人都不受法律制裁。这种杀了黑人不被判刑的例子不能说一个没有，但绝不是主流。

下面介绍真实的情况。
