In my last post I covered the protests in Serbia and how the media didn’t investigate it well and ended up covering just a tiny part of the whole story. So that brings me to the question, can we trust the media? Can we be sure that what we hear on the news is correct?
Of course not. We can never be sure if the media is lying on purpose because it doesn’t want us to know the truth or if the media didn’t investigate the story they were covering well enough or if the media is telling the truth. But if the topic truly interests us we can always find out the truth. If the events are near you, you can go and check them out and see what is going on with your own eyes. Today the television isn’t the only source of news. A lot of people have a lot of social media and a number of people that are partaking in the events would probably be filming it or live streaming it, so if you don’t want to go personally to the event, but still want to see if the media is lying or telling the truth you can simply check that out.
What I’m trying to say is that whether the media is telling the truth or is knowingly or unknowingly lying that shouldn’t stop you from finding out the truth.
