Why do people rely on media?

Question

I mean that some people see the news or read the newspaper and believe whatever the media says. Like the bombing of the London underground the media framed the muslims for taking responsibility of the explosion. Why? It could be any religion even christianity. Who knows?

Answer 1

Many rely on the media because the media only shows one point of view only. There will be programs on TV that will only show one point of view too. The negative sides of everything. Many people believe this because they have been brainwashed by the media and of course they continue to believe in those lies. I do not believe in those lies because i know what is true. I know that some countries have other sides and others just think it is all bad. But many places in the world got positive sides and that is the truth. The media only does this to invite us having the feeling that we are thankful that we live in the Western countries. The media also does this to get a lot of money. Nice question.

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

For some people media tells them how to live, rather they know it or not. I agree that people should not believ everything they see on TV, but its hard not too, considering the state of the world and the muslims reputation as portrayed by America.

Answer 3

Negative impacts of mass migration aren't treated fairly in the media and elsewhere. A plethora of special interests promote mass migration through various techniques designed to emphasize only the benefits. Far too frequently the costs and consequences of mass migration are never mentioned.

Because of political correctness, a form of bias, writers distort the truth by promoting their agenda, typically liberal, and by avoiding objective reporting. For example, newspaper writers (using 'journalists' usually is a stretch when it comes to immigration) overdose the columns with immigrant and illegal alien 'heart-breakers.'

Politicians likewise distort the truth (like this is a revelation) to pander for ethnic votes.

Race-biased groups, under the veil of 'immigrant rights,' distort the truth to gain advantages for their special interest group.

The basic techniques used to distort mass migration, with possible counter arguments, are:

Immigrant / Illegal Alien Glorification. Mass migration proponents extol the virtues of immigrants and illegal aliens with glowing characterizations such as "hardworking."

Counter: Immigration glorification needs a reality check! There are plenty of lazy immigrants and illegal aliens. Our jails are over-flowing with immigrants and illegal aliens. Lower their glorification to the reality that foreign-born persons are neither inherently good nor inherently bad. Making generalizations is generally inaccurate and the issue is mass numbers.

Economic Benefits. Cheap labor advocates are prone to say something like lettuce will cost $10 a head without migrant labor.

Cheap labor benefits only a few and only over the short-run. The wealthy benefit by cheap labor but the middle and especially lower class suffer by having fewer and lower paying jobs. Taxpayers have to pay for the infrastructure costs or face declining quality of services. Competitors suffer too.

And so on..........

Answer 4

I don't totally. They flip-flop from one side to the other all the time. I do research it and rely alot on what I see. I get more angry when the media trys to convince me that what I see isn't there.

Answer 5

I would say most people have the time to investigon their own but are too lazy and lack research skills.

Answer 6

A lot of people me included dont have time to look into things for themselves . This is not a good thing.

Answer 7

Because they are ignorant and can't come up with their own beliefs. That's why I don't swallow the crap CNN with Lou Dobbs gives me.
