what do you think of the television news, is it true? or is it made up?

Answer 1

I say take it with a grain of salt. If you get live pictures, you may be getting truth. But, then again, we saw Tom Hanks shaking hands with a few different old presidents in Forrest Gump. Pretty hard to believe anything.

I think the media is an irresponsible group that only cares about getting a headline regardless of who they hurt in the process. It's all about getting it first, not about getting it right.

I watched a movie with Kevin Costner about the Cuban missile crisis. I wonder how accurate that was with regards to their fight with the media? The gvt plans for attack had to be kept secret, the safety of our country depended on it, but the media just wanted to publish the plan before it happened. Hello!! how stupid were those guys??

Answer 2

for the most part it is true and accurate. What they don't often do though, is show the whole story and often they taint what they do show with their own interpretations. Remember that the TV news doesn't have the time to give all the facts or expound upon a story, so what they do give you is designed to make you watch. They tease you with lines such as "the danger in your coffee", and then you tune in to see what new horror has been unleashed upon you by the evil corporations only to find that the studies are inconclusive or the danger is not really so bad. Any news outlet is profit driven (what isn't these days?) and the more people they get to watch whatever they report on, the more money they make. So take what they show you with a large grain of salt and if you are truly interested in "the rest of the story" do a little research for yourself and make your own informed descisions.

Answer 3

The mainstream media always has an agenda . If it does not fit the agenda , they distort ; invent ; fabricate ; or blatantly use tactics of the National Enquirer . Television "news" is a biased liberal hate-based mass of pompous drivel we can live without .

Answer 4

MOST OF IT IS TRUE. RARELY IS IT MADE UP. THE ONLY THING I GET SICK OF ON THE NEWS IS WHEN THEY HAVE TO REPEAT IT EVERY TIME IT'S ON. I REALIZE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WATCH AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT THAT BEGINS TO BECOME BORING WHEN YOU'VE HEARD A PIECE SO MANY TIMES.
