Is the media lying to us?
Nowadays people get information from different sources, for example from the Internet, newspapers, magazines, advertisements and TV. But the question is can we trust them? Are they always telling the truth?Let us take the Internet for example. Personally I think, that it is number one liar. I always bump into rediculous information, news, videos and obviously photoshoped photos while surfing the net. For example, yesterday I saw a false information about the death of a famous Russian actor, but to be honest I didn`t believe because I am used to that kind of incorrect news.
Speaking about advertisements, I don`t believe them niether. The point is, that they don`t show us the both sides of their products, always hide disadvantages, which are sometimes more important than advantages. Once I saw an advertisement of a perfect hair loss shampoo and it really worked, but after using that shampoo I faced another problem- dandruff.
The third example shows us that we can face false information on TV too. Despite the fact that the TV lies to us much less than other sources, we also can`t absolutely trust it. The first thing that came on my mind is the TV show on REN TV about the UFO. It was told that a countryman saw an alien, but it suddenly disappeared.
To sum it up I`d like to say that there are lots of these kind of examples which make us not to believe the media.
