Personally,i do not believe that the media can be trusted as an absolutely reliable teller of truths.Isnt it more than apparent to us that no one media in this whole wide world has actually been given complete freedom? Without complete freedom to publish and cover anything that the media wishes to,it is almost impossible for us to base our trust in the media to convey the truths and ONLY the truths.Let's take a look at America's self-proclaimed free press.Is it really not curbed in any single way? i seriously doubt so.Then,why exactly are they practising censorship?Furthermore,the article has brought out a point that media could be bribed and,thereafter,used as propaganda to manipulate the public into believing what the government would very much like us to preceive as the truths.China's media has also been restricted to publish anything that is trying to bring down communism.Ergo,we should not depend on the media entirely to convey the truths of today.
Next,i think we should not overlook the fact that the media is,afterall,business-orientated.Hence,it is understandable that they would love to make attractive profits.The media is reasonably eager to gain patrons and popularity.As a result,some would fabricate news while others would simply twist the truths into something more sensational and superficial just to attract more readers,patrons,viewers etc.This,sometimes,is the reason that has caused the media to be less reliable.
All in all,i do not believe that the media is still capable of bringing light to the world.yes,it would definitely be ideal if the media is perfectly honest in their coverage instead of slanting and twisting the truths and publishing selectively.Yet,the reality of today is that there is no one completely free media that tells only the truths and nothing else at all.So,let's not be gullibly naive and think otherwise.
