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.

译文：

1--数以百万的像你这样的非专业投资者都依赖那些令人眼花缭乱的金融报纸、杂志和评论员来获得投资方面的信息。

2--是这样。想想我们每天面对庞大的媒体，有时候真觉得有点儿吓人。

1--这就像是信息过载了，更别提这些报刊杂志的可靠性如何了。

2--你认为哪家报纸或杂志在核对事实方面做得最好呢？

1--比方说，《华尔街日报》就很好。尽管有些时候公司老总和银行家也利用它事先泄露公司合并的消息，以利其炒作。

2--我喜欢《财富》。

1--《财富》有很好的预见性。《商业周刊》的可靠性也不错。

2--广播公司是如何获得信息的呢？但愿不只是从新闻发布会上吧。

1--好的广播公司获得信息的途径远不止新闻发布会。他们的记者做的是货真价实的报道，他们得去股票交易所采访股民，采访基金经理人和股评人士。

2--不过，有时候，不可信的传闻甚至谣言一旦上了电视，就会越传越讹了。

1--你说得对。
