Question The Media

I never really put much thought into questioning what I hear or see through the media until this week during class when we talked about not always being able to believe what we learn through the media. We looked at many different questions on media and it got us thinking whether or not to believe what we hear and see.

Most of the time I would never think to question what I see on tv or hear on the radio or read because I am a very believable person, but after this week I am not to sure about anything anymore ! How are we suppose to know when we read a book whether the author is just speaking their own opinion or telling facts !?

Bias opinions happen through all sorts of media, but it happens all the time on television through product placement. Have you ever noticed the weird shots of objects that seem like they don't belong, yaa that's product placement !

Most people don't think to question what they see through the media but it's good too so that you have your own opinion on things and not just someone else's.
