The media (journalists) are supposed to reveal the FACTS and put their biases aside. Now, the media is owned by giant companies that have interests in everything from electricity to food and entertainment. The companies have exerted their influence over their journalists and now you have nothing but partial truths.

As long as it serves the corporate interests it all works fine.

Media is around us all the time with billboards, TV, radio, etc. We are constantly exposed to it and I think people sometimes have trouble distinguishing fact from the media. Many people think that the media is telling you the truth and do not realize that the different media companies/stations are biased towards one side or another.

Because the media gives people things that they WANT to believe. Sometimes facts are not as exciting.

often it is percieved that the media are the facts but what people dont realize is that the media is no different than any other company.......it has to make money and therefore can spin stories to fit there plan. i tend to feel that the media although not all bad should not be trusted on a single bases and you should add other sources to confirm stories.....hope this helps.

That's a pretty wide open question. Media could be reliable news sources, or it could be the National enquirer. Everybody's perception is different

because they do not have the time to run around and investigate facts for themselves for every given story under the sun
