72、cans Trust in News MediaThe traditional news media in America has been having a rough time in the last few years.According to a recent survey,more Americans have a negative than a positive view of the news media,and are finding it harder to be well informed because it is getting harder to determine
73、which news is accurate.The problem is preference.While ideally the media should be objective and hold power to account,in reality we know that most news outlets belong to a certain party and have their own agenda to advance.Whether state-owned or run by some shady,tax-avoiding billionaires,getting “
74、the masses” to view the world from a certain perspective has always been a priceless power to hold.So why is trust in the media so low?Well,according to the same survey,8 out of 10 Americans believe that the news media are critical to their democracy.The gap between these expectations of an honest,o
75、bjective media and the performance that they actually deliver is large.Thus,we find ourselves confused and mistrustful.People have been posting examples of how media trick you into seeing exactly what they wanted you to see.Social media is good in some respects,but bad in terms of regulation.The good old traditional news media really is needed as a forum for reasonable debate and expert opinion,but they have got to stop with the manipulation(操纵) already!
