Is the media lying to us?
It is not an easy question. At present people are surrounded by many diffirent sources of information such as TV, magazines, internet, advertisements and probably nespapers, i don't think that many people read them nowadays. Anyway, all this types of media have got the essential influence on our life. Because you can find it everywhere whether want you or not. There are plenty of big posters all around telling you what a great new pen or mobile phone they have constructed specially for you. But when you buy it you see that it isn't as good as they said. So the question is can we trust the media?
Well to find the answer to this question we can just open a magazine or turn on the TV and see a lot of things that will "improve your life" as they say showing us a bar of chocolate or a pair of shoes...And this is the way the television works, everyone says that his product is the best in the world even without thinking about any disadvantages of it. Just in case of getting more money.
But maybe the problem is only about advertisments and we also have got news programes with serious and reliable people speaking things based on real facts... But what if the news show us only a small part of the real events. Because they can tell us everything they want to. This way they can tell us almost the truth and in diffirent ways just for some own benefits. But we should be careful and prove the facts we are going to belive to. And we should make our own opinions and think about that.
