This article is all about how media are creating a new truth. Basically this article is all about how the media can twist and alter a story so that it makes people believe that what they are saying is true.Media often tries to discredit the opposing view of a situation by providing often invalid arguments apposing the other side.
Key Takeaways:
- Restructure the past. The past must always reflect the present’s version of the truth.
- Tell people what is important and what isn’t. Cover opposing views, but make them unimportant and second hand.
- Create an atmosphere that implies opposition to the new truth is an act of immorality.
