We should be very careful as we listen in to the pictures that the media paints for us everyday. They do not have our best interest at hand. Rarely, if ever do they give us an accurate portrait of what happened. The news is brought fourth in such a way that will cause ratings and or push certain agendas that benefit that news reporting agency for the long term. Therefore, if the truth will not cause one or both of those to happen, then we’re not going to hear the truth. We must not allow ourselves to lead blindly to the chopping blocks. We must know the truth for ourselves. Leaving it up to the media will cause our emotions to get on board with something that may not even be real.

Power Quote:

What is largely missing in American life today is a sense of context, of saying or doing anything that is intended  or even expected to live beyond the moment. There is no culture in the word that is so obsessed as ours with immediacy. In our journalism the trivial displaces the momentous because we tend to measure the importance of events by how recently they happened. We have become so obsessed with facts that we have lost all touch with the truth.

Ted Koppel ( 1940 –     )
