Be careful to medias

Some people may be surprised at that the advertisements are everywhere. But few people are aware that behind they are medias actually.This may because people don’t feel they as offensive as advertisements. But evennow you may not realize that how tremendously medias affect us. As the saying goes, “If you control the straits, you control the ocean. If you control the ocean, you control the land. But if you control the money, you control the world. However, if you control medias, you control everyone.” I think that this saying doesn’t exaggerate. People live in a world of medias. No matter what happens or what changes around you, you are mostly told by medias and form an opinion basing on the information you get from the media. However, there is almost no media purely state the fact without any stand. Mostly, it has been colored with the emotion of the editors before it is published. That is, what you get is somewhat distorted, not a fact strictly. Thanks to good writing of journalists or other writers, the partial thinking is hidden between the lines. It may be the most powerful mesmerist. Moreover, the media can choose what to emphasize on and what to be vague. For example, when I read the Wikipedia, I was impressed by the power struggle and the tactful trickery of Deng Xiaoping. Because Wikipedia seems to find it interesting to focus less on what Deng had achieved but seize any chance to describe something else of Deng, like some words he said in the letters, which may sounds cheap. If I don’t know something about it before, I would be more likely to conclude that Deng is a tactful politician, let alone another leader of China. Therefore, I conclude that we should be critical to the media. That’s all.
