The bulk of the population receives their information about
government from media outlets; media outlets that rely upon ratings and
advertisements. With this is in mind, why do we rely on the media or
infotainment described in this article http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/thats_infotainment/
.
I’ve seen a lot of television in my day, I am sure everyone
who lives outside of our country is laughing at us for having jersey shore and
disgracing Italians in this small ignorant category, or teen moms who get
famous for being immature pregnant mothers. One tragedy after another happens
on the media, I haven’t seen one segment about a heroic soldier or informed
kids get away from being abducted. The media harps on school shootings, what
Lindsey Lohan did, or what tweets were said about the Koreans.
Many people are amazed on how this country has taken a whole
different toll, but if you think about what we are actually allowing our kids
to watch and what type of messages we are presenting to our growing generation.

explains how what we see or hear is being controlled to see what “they” (the
media) wants us to see. It is quite disturbing to see what we fill our heads
with, why we allow it, and why no one has broken this “hazing” of media? Americans
can name the cast of jersey shore but we cannot name our local representative or
senator. Being a part of such growth and change in our country the media will
not prosper on the good of this country we can only harp on what we have lost.
