[未归类] difficult to know whom to believe 周一作业） [复制链接]

When it comes to the mass media – such as radio, television, the Internet, or magazines, quite a lot of people would believe what they say; however, according to my rule of thumb, it is difficult for humans nowadays to believe the truth of these reports.

First of all, different media may have their different voices on the same topic. For example, in regard to the issue about the advantages and disadvantages of cell phones, the radio tells us a current research on this topic that cell phones do harm to humans’ heath, especially to that of children. On the other hand, a fashion magazine who wants to promote its new style of cell phones say that phones will not cause any problems to the growth of children. Thus, these different opinions cause citizens confused, and they do not know whether to believe what the reports say or not.

In addition, the exaggeration of some mass media or even some researches causes the distrust and dislike of the public. After all, truth is foundation of trust. For instance, if some scientists distort the results of their research, even though they could win recognition from their fans for a while, they will lose all eventually. It is these false information that lead to the dislike of the public.

Of course, plenty of the reports and information are not only suited with the truth, but also meet the expectation of the audience, just like BBC, VOA, Times, and so fourth. People are crazy about their reports, and believe them.

By and large, although there are quite a lot of true information in the newspapers, televisions, or the Internet, people are more likely to believe what they see in the mass media.
