INFORMING OR DEFORMING?
Is it possible that we, on an attempt of
being informed, are being tricked? Every day, we receive a huge amount of
information from newspapers, TV programmes and Internet. But, do we get truthful
news? Who can guarantee us what we are reading is real and it’s not a fake or
manipulated story?
It is already known every newspaper and TV
channel has a different ideology. We are conscious we are not reading or
hearing the entire truth. This should bother us, but anyone of us actually
changes the channel to see what other people may think about the same issue. And
that is probably the reason, or one of them, why our country is still stuck in
two-party predominance. Not a single one of the new ideas is going to prospect
if we are not willing to hear it.
Another problem revolves around
international conflicts. We live in a world mostly dominated by capitalism
where money is the only thing that actually matters. Behind every headline
there is an unconceivable number of influences, interests and pressures. The
truth is delicate and complicated, and the world leaders can’t allow everybody
to know everything.
Sadly, mass media give us a scant of
contradictory information and keeps us far away from the real actuality. For
this reason, we can assure they have stopped informing us about the reality and
started deforming it.
