TV, Radio, Internet, Tabloids: Really, what do you believe?
Of all news sources available I prefer to watch Television. Not for the spectacle of all images flashing by, not for the painful reality of the human race, but for honest news, that’s what I like. If you are reading a paper or tabloid you are in fact listening to how somebody else saw or experienced the news. With television you actually see the people and the emotions expressed on their faces. It is hard and sometimes not human to digitize the grief but this is what I hope we learn from being able to see how it really is and happened. Simply the truth.
Bad News
The downside of this source of news, television, is that in some countries they use it for propaganda, letting people belief that something happened and of course it didn’t. Good examples of that are the way they let us -the viewers- see war. No casualties on our side, just on the other side, the enemy. Maybe this is why Madonna isn’t watching television. But then again she reads and does she believes that?
Good News
The good thing about nowadays is that you have more than one source. If you read some news and you want to know more about it you can consider looking it up on the internet by using Google or other famous search engines. You can listen to a variety of radio stations; watch the news on different channels.
News happens 24 hours a day and the journalists from Reuter, CNN etc. are always 24/7 on top of the news at the worst spots in the world. But still, people like to have some good news or bad news being told in a disguise a way to bring such news is the way the women and men from Naked News are giving it. Another way to give news, although the news stays the same.
Make Up Your Own Mind
But still you must be careful what you are watching as it can make you depressed with all the war and misery going on. Luckily there is with bad news also good news. For example;. After an earthquake -12.000 deaths. Four days searching with teams working together from different countries they find a boy alive under the concrete. That to me is good news.
