Experience with the Media


The media is always somehow getting intertwined in our lives.  We are constantly surrounded by the media every day.  It can be from watching our favorite television show to just surfing the internet. The media has become such an influential part of everyone’s lives now. That is why I believe that now a days, it is easier for people to be persuaded to change their beliefs or stances on a certain topic. It seems that the media only exposes certain information and sometimes they will even distort the truth.  The media only publishes information that they believe we as the audience would be interested in. That is the main reason why it is hard to believe what the media puts out in our world.  It is why over the years, I have experienced numerous occasions where the media was biased and lead me to believe false information. This just reminds you that you need critical thinking skills to be able to recognize the truth.
