The Media

I honestly cannot understand why people trust the media. Many people find it difficult to trust others in their own families or neighborhoods, so how come it is possible for them to trust such a mysterious and extreme stranger called the 'media'.
Are they following the rest? Do they feel inferior to the immense authority which is the media? Or do the media show them what they want to see? Media have two sides, at least one of them is altering the truth.
Media come out everyday. There are many forms of media like entertainment, marketing, music... etc. Other than telling us news for example, the media tell us what we are supposed to care about tomorrow.
Mainly, the media have become part of the system. They control our thoughts, interests, and principals making us overwhelmed by all the info we have to digest... The media tell us what we want to hear, but the SERIOUS stuff is not for the audience to know about, the media take care of it...

The media's main goal is to gain ca$h...they would go over the limits to increase profit, they lie and create stories. All of them belong to much larger and wealthier corporations using people and seeking money as well.
But there are always ways to get rid of those who ask questions, think deeply and independently about what the media are presenting to them.
This was a very short description of what I think of the media... The media can easily alter the truth, but yet we are still addicted and attached to them. Why? It seems like the media are doing a great job in showing us what we want to see.
