Why do the networks and cable channels provide their viewers with the news?
Is it because they want their viewers to be well informed on the latest
events in the world? Or the latest events locally? Or is it because
they care about their viewers?
Let get one thing straight. They
couldn't care less about their viewers much less on their viewers being
well informed. The last thing they want is for their viewers to be
informed.
The purpose of the news
is to promote a specific view of the world for the politicians; this is
their agenda. The three network stations (NBC, CBS, & ABC), CNN,
& MSNBC work closely promoting the Left's agenda. Fox works with the
Right, but Fox seems to be sliding more & more to the left
everyday.
The nightly news is nothing but a grotesque reality tv
show, the original reality tv show. It starts at six o'clock in most
cities and lasts for an hour. This is basically what local &
national news is.
What can we do?
Watch the local &
national news? Watch independent news on the internet on different
platforms such as Youtube, blogs, and podcasts. Read the news from other
countries for a different perspective.
After taking in all the news from these sources, then use your critical thinking skills to come to your own conclusions.
But whatever you do, do not rely solely on one news network for your outlook on the world.
