Media, evil?
    #1527161 - 05/07/03 10:03 AM (20 years, 10 months ago)

We all know the media gives a one-sided view of things, and that the media of other countries (and possibly this one too) uses people such as reporters and people likke Sean Penn who go to other countries protesting war as propaganda tools. So my question, is the media (and I don't just mean America's media) evil?

We all know the media gives a one-sided view of things...

eh... maybe some things, some of the time... and who is 'the media'?

a poor debating technique

the media isn't evil. they're just selling a product. some people like to hear a certain kind of news. some people, in times like these, won't put up with an 'unpatriotic' news station. what do you expect? it's just business.

I think the media is generally good for giving you facts to work with. Many people dont take the extra time necessary to compile the facts and think..."Hmm..Does this make sense?". Therefore, the Media gets demonized.

Pay attention to the news, but take what you hear with a grain of salt.
