Why You Shouldn’t Believe Everything You See in the Media

As society, we tend to trust everything we see in the media; however, we should become more conscious about what we trust due to media’s tendency to distort information. For instance, check out the headline from the newspaper below. The World claimed on the front page of its newspaper that "no lives [were] lost" on the Titanic which is a preposterous claim. This is a prime example of how twisted the media can get as we know over 1,500 lives were lost on the Titanic. In order to reduce the consumption or spread of fake news, it is important to check other news sources to see what they are saying. Gathering additional information on a claim from other sources is vital in order to ensure that the information you are getting is valid and reliable.
