“The corruption of the best things gives rise to the worst.”

-David Hume

I have always admired the work of that true journalists and reporters do. It’s sad to see the decline in newspapers but technology has just simply made them inferior. While newspaper readership has went down, the majority of these companies have put their focus on televised and online news. We have the ability to access almost any information possible from every angle possible. This makes it great to combat disinformation or an altered display of information by giving you the opportunity to do your own research and to see both sides of the story.

I have also always been a huge fan of any and all watchdog reporters with actual factual backings and objective research. Without people like this, our government, as corrupt as it is, would basically fly even more under the radar than they have in the past.

“None of the main issues which humanity is facing will be resolved without access to information.”

-Christophe Deloire

It has always been blatantly obvious to me that major newspapers and media outlets push an agenda onto their readers and viewers. The journalists all put forward the articles they are either told to look into or choose to look into.

As someone who doesn’t make and opinion or speak about something before doing my research, it’s appalls me to see the non-objective based news we are being fed every single day. It doesn’t necessarily bother me that news papers and media outlets choose what stories to report on because I understand they need to make money and certain stories sell better than others. The thing that bothers me is the obvious omission of important facts, jumping the gun, and creating their own conclusions for the viewers. While I take everything I generally read with a grain of salt these days, there’s a vast majority of people who don’t do their due diligence and just hop on the sheep train. When six major companies own 90% of the major news network viewership and employ 232 media executives in charge of what information is being given to the entire country something seems like it could go wrong. At this point we are at it doesn’t really matter how credible an article is or a media outlet is, i’m still going to do my own research. I just can’t imagine where we would be at as a society if all our news and information was still in a physical form.
