Media Literacy
I've come to realize now that most of what is most reported is a target of what sells the most. I do not think the media, overall, cares about reporting all sides to a story. They are only interested in reporting stories that tend to create controversy. Controversy or a train-wreck on television, radio or newspaper will get the high ratings that translates into a lot of cash. I do not like that. I want the media to report fair and accurate news of all sides to a story. Liberal or conservative..... I do not care. Before, I thought the media was mostly liberal bias. I see it now as which ever story, whether it is a liberal or conservative slant, has the most controversey is the one that will be reported. It goes back and forth with both sides and I am tired of it. I watch little news now and I find that disappointing. I want to be able to count on the news media to report stories that do not have any slant to them. In this day in age, I do not think that is possible.
