But Science?
A lot of stories are not relayed correctly to audiences. Science stories which are supposed to be factually based are some of the most slanted stories, either to just simply shorten the stories for other more "interesting" stories that add more viewers, because they may assume that their viewers won't understand the "complicated" stories, or to back the views of the company/investors.
The most recent example is of Mars and the discovery of water (which is *technically* old news).
All over the printed, broadcasted, and shared news; all headlines would read about liquid water on Mars and that it may currently support life (not that it can prove past existence of life). What is funny about that is that they did not report that the liquid water on Mars is filled with toxic, salt like, chemicals that would not be able to support life.
I guess when you need a story, you'll try to change info to keep viewers.

This is an interesting topic. I think its ridiculous how news stations twist stories for the viewers and money. I binged watched a bunch of videos on youtube and it blew my mind how many networks do it.

ReplyDeleteI really like this topic, and I hate that when media report slanted. It is their responsibility to keep us update with the news. not with some bias or an complete opposite story.
