Why the press exist? Do you think that truth exist in the world? Do you think that we are free or led by the press?

I think the answer is easy for the reason why the press exists; it is because we need to know about what’s going on in the world, to be able to connect with the outside world through the press, so it is so important. We have to appreciate the works of the guys working in the countries where war exists just to send us the information and whose life is threatened there! About your last question, both are correct, we might be free or led by the press, sometimes not all the information written on the press  are correct although not all of them are fake, you can say it is not 100% true but at last we should read it.

yes , the true exit and non true exit too, you can find peoples work hard in their jobs and the opposite is right ….I think the world is divided into two parts true and false ….sometimes the true defeat the false and…..?

I advise you to be in the true side always!

This is a good topic, but if I can help with the language here a moment

true is an adjective, so we use it to describe or modify something, like TRUE life, TRUE love, or TRUE story. The opposite would be false or untrue.

The noun form of the word is TRUTH. So you would be correct to say in the subject of the thread

"Do you think that truth exists in the world?"

When you are talking about TRUTH as a general concept, you don't need to use an article, but when speaking about a specific truth, you would.

So

Does truth exist?

but

Tell me the truth
