One of the great things that Social media and the internet creates was open-source and available information’s to read. Unlike before, the people are only relying upon the radio programmed was the announcer of the radio broadcast will surely be the thing that will come to people minds.
NOTE: This is not a journalistic article just a random things inside me like any every others.
I get to the point where I doubt to believe now in some news in the Televisions. Don’t judge me but the moment I stood up and learned to read, I think there is really a manipulation of people going on and some impact was a great extraction of humanity.
This topic has come to me when I read the article of famous news stations that stated that the death of the NPA Leader was just recent news was because the Military ambushes them even they are armless. Okay, it gets more interesting as I knew what is going on.
Imagine ourselves with no internet connections and phones, and one radio station will only be the source of pieces of information. Then suddenly the radio stopped broadcasting and eventually things becomes more unfold.
Now that the internet becomes more available we can see videos from the past, that was removed from the books and history class, we now see the erased files from people so they won't know. And something is more exclusive.
The sources where we get valid information and entertainment are covering something.
Well, we cannot really change the things that stations will only be operated when money comes from the investors, and “Inventors always right” are you going to argue or talk bad about those people who are paying your bills or giving you the promise of a lifetime?.
So they will cover things and eventually lead to some people who cant access reality.
Biased media wasn’t a new issue anyways, it's been for years now as the president alone has shared experience about the false pieces of information and judgement.
The Filipino won the Nobel prize against the Drug war in the Philippines that stated that the government are killing drug pushers and they are against that killing. Human rights and some freedom was the bullet for the issue to get in life.
The media is showing the family of the drug victims that were caught dead in some operations yet stays silent in the family who was a victim of rape and harassment because of the drug addicts. The media is showing how the negative but stays hidden in the positive side. Why? They are focusing on the left side of the story where the people gets more anxious to be brainwashed.
As time goes and social media comes to life, more people could document what was happening not only the mainstream media could broadcast live things happening but whoever holds an internet and phone. For that, without any changes, we could see how and what was happened beneath.
The known media platform has published an article that stated that 10,000 cars were joined the parade yet the reality it was only a hundred, as the people showed evidence of their biased and unrealistic approach. Then they changes the article because people could now broadcast videos with no edits and whisper by some personalities.
As the election was going and people are more getting to the point where they wanted to look in the side chains of the past. Imagine a convicted with some cases could be broadcast as runners in this coming elections.
Media is part of our lives and that’s was given at some point, but now that we are getting more tech and driven we could now browse things like them. Could read and access things within the click of the right hands, we are now closed to science-fiction that we watched in movies.
Are you familiar with the word “Oligarchy”?. This was obtusely happening in the mainstream media. The idea is that some from the governments, private and public offices like media and broadcasting station was controlled by someone with faces. These are the people who had tons of money and do everything just to hide things.
The power of social media is definitely more than in the mainstream, as the people could now freely talk and document things that weren’t covered with biased media networks. The good conduct was hidden and becomes filtered by some bombing issues about the government and some things.
This is not attacking the mainstream media, this issue wasn’t a new thing in the social community. Let's give it a hanging side where we learn to DYOR (Do your own research) that nowadays that sources of information could be faked and the trusted news influencer could be controlled its now time to take actions and think wisely in believing certain news. Thanks for reading…
Mostly are biased, as Pres. Duterte said. Because of media nasisira ang magandang ginagawa ng iba. Nababayaran kase :(
