Some people claim that they do not read some newspaper brands in Korea because they believe the newspaper’s companies related with politics. They always write using periphrasis way about their side of politician and it could feel people that media lie to us and trick people. In this way, in my opinion is that people needs ability that distinguishes between literally in written and real-thinking about the issue. Many articles have author’s tendency of the issue so it means everyone could have different opinion about a same issue.

Does the media lie to us? Well maybe not exactly but it does like to make things more interesting. The media is not always a good source for news. I know you must wonder if it is not a good source what is? But it is true that we live in a society that requires money and media will print what sales. I think the media lies in that they can make drama over issues that sometimes are not needed. If media was to be less dramatic and more honest would you still be interested? I think the answer is yes. You will be interested when the news matters but you won’t be interested when it is unrelated news. It is difficult to give more details about the problem with news media without giving examples but I want to instead ask you all if you can give an example when you thought something you read from the media to be true only to find out it was a “stretched truth”?
