media influential?
we all know how powerful the media is when reporting news, but y is it not so powerful when it should correct itself? it's so easy for ppl 2 make headline news when a scandal breaks out, yet when the person(s) r innocent, the hype goes down? i've read the papers in the past and would c stories of older men/women accused of pedophile, yet the next week or so when found innocent and cleared it makes 1 paragraph on page 74?
so basically, my question is, r we influenced by the media and just what r the pro's and con's of it? salt |

Salt I think to some degree people are influenced by the media. But I don't think that I am
1. Because I don't read the Newspaper 2. I hardly watch the news these days. Especially around the time of the war I hardly believed what they had to say about the war and Bush. I think these forms of media are good at trying to get the top stories out first before their competitors and in most cases they do that by going off of stuff they heard through the great vien. Or they believed a lot of the bull the president was feeding them. I still don't hear anything about them finding weapons of mass destruction or following up the president on that. But that's another story. |
